I moved to Okotoks just about two years ago to the day. It is a great community. I don't think we'll ever move back to the city.
The current population is in and around 20K, with a proposed cap of 30K. We haven't had any problems registering our children for school. Both attend Catholic school(close to home). Plenty of amenities in town (WalMart Supercentre, Home Depot, proposed Costco, banks, restaurants, only one Tim Hortons though).
The only downfalls we have seen are the watering restrictions (two days a week, during certain hours) and the higher property taxes.
That's my two cents. We were on the bridge like you were a few years ago. I'm glad I made the choice I did.
Best of luck.
