Community Description

go to top ^

Strathcona-Christie Park is located on the Western side of Calgary in the city’s southwest. The area was annexed from Municipal District of Rockyview in 1956. Strathcona and Christie Park are located on an elevated plateau that allows for excellent views of Calgary and the Elbow and Bow River Valley. The area is close to Edworthy Park and Glendale Athletic Park as well as the indoor Westside Recreational Center. There are both public and separate schools in the area.

The Strathcona-Christie Park community association is very active within the community. The community centre houses the Child’s Garden Preschool, an after school program, and a variety of courses ranging from karate to Kumon math to exercise classes. The community has also developed specific programs to target neighbourhood teens. Teen dance parties have proved to be extremely popular. There are programs specifically designed for seniors as well. Tai Chi, Spanish language, watercolour and line dancing classes are examples of these programs. Special events, such as stand up and improv nights, and a winter ice sculpture competition have also been well-received in the community. Strathcona/Christie is also responsive to the changing interests of community residents. If 5 residents express an interest in a program, the community tries to start one to meet the demand. Community recreation facilities, such as the hockey and pleasure ice rinks and the soccer field, are also popular.
