By the numbers
Cambrian Heights 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 Cambrian Heights
Fun facts: “Cambria” is the old Latin name for Wales, and the streets follow the theme — Cardiff, Carnarvon, Celtic and Cymric (“Cymric” means Welsh). In fact every residential street starts with “C,” from Cadogan to Cumberland. Alberta Bible College on Northmount Drive was founded in 1932, before the neighbourhood was built. And the Cambrian Heights Lookout off-leash hill has a bench at the top.
Cambrian Heights is a small inner-city northwest community of about 750 homes, built in the late 1950s (the typical home dates to 1958), with newer infill and duplexes replacing some originals. It sits between Nose Hill Park to the north and Confederation Park to the south, east of 14 Street, with Queen’s Park Cemetery on its east side — an unusual amount of green space for the inner city.
The community association’s hall on Northmount Drive has a little free library, and the association also runs an outdoor rink, a firepit, garden plots and playing fields. Cambrian Heights School (K–6) is inside the community, and there are three off-leash areas. Shops and restaurants line 40 Avenue NW.
Things to do: trails and grassland in Nose Hill Park; Confederation Park’s pathways, toboggan hill, golf course and winter ski trails — plus the Lions Festival of Lights every December; the community’s two off-leash areas; Community Bike Day; and Nose Hill Library about a kilometre west.
Farmers’ market: Cambrian Heights Farmers’ Market, 600 Northmount Drive NW — Tuesdays, 3–7 pm, late May to early October. Year-round, the closest is Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers’ Market (1320 5 Avenue NW), about 3 km away.
