By the numbers
Banff Trail at a glance
Population and dwelling counts: City of Calgary civic census, 2019 — the most recent civic census published. Current properties: the City’s property assessment roll. That is the up-to-date count, but it counts titles rather than households — each condominium unit is its own title, while a rental apartment building is a single title however many suites it holds. In newer, mostly-owned communities the two numbers track closely; in older communities with rental blocks the roll sits below the census count for that reason. Sector: City of Calgary community district boundaries.
The community
About Banff Trail
Fun facts: the community was first called “West Capitol Hill.” It took its current name from Crowchild Trail, which used to be called Banff Trail because it was the road to Banff.
Banff Trail is an inner-city northwest neighbourhood established in 1952, mostly homes from the 1950s (the typical home dates to 1955) mixed with newer infill, townhomes and apartments. It sits northeast of Crowchild Trail and 16 Avenue, with the University of Calgary and McMahon Stadium just west, SAIT to the south, and its own Banff Trail CTrain station.
The community association runs a hall with a little free library, an outdoor rink and a community garden. Two schools are inside: Branton (grades 6–9) and William Aberhart High School, both with French Immersion. Locals know Hilltop Plaza, Edelweiss Village’s European deli and The Blues Can, a live blues venue on 16 Avenue. Calgary’s Motel Village is in the southwest corner.
Things to do: Stampeders games at McMahon Stadium next door; the community rink, garden and Santa Skate; Edelweiss Village’s European deli and bakery; Monday Toonie Skate at the Olympic Oval; and free art at the Nickle Galleries on the University of Calgary campus.
Farmers’ market: Triwood Farmers’ Market, 2244 Chicoutimi Drive NW — select weekend dates, 10 am–2 pm, June to October. Year-round, the closest is Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers’ Market (1320 5 Avenue NW), about 2 km away.
