By the numbers
Capitol Hill 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.

About Capitol Hill
Fun facts: the 1912 Capitol Hill Cottage School still stands — one of only four surviving cottage-style schools in Calgary. Capitol Hill Park was built between 1932 and 1941 to plans influenced by William Reader, the Parks Superintendent behind many of Calgary’s classic parks, including Reader Rock Garden. The Royal Canadian Legion’s provincial command headquarters is on 15 Street NW. And though Capitol Hill joined the city in 1910, most of its homes weren’t built until after the Second World War.
Capitol Hill is an inner-city northwest community annexed in 1910. A few homes date from the 1920s and ’30s, but most went up after World War II, and today it’s a mix of bungalows, newer infill, duplexes and low-rise apartments. It sits just north of 16 Avenue, between SAIT and Confederation Park, with 14 Street running through it; cafés, a pizza place and an art gallery cluster around 20 Avenue and 18 Street.
Two elementary schools are inside: Capitol Hill School (K–6) and École St. Pius X (K–6 Catholic, French Immersion). The community association runs a hall with a lounge, deck and community garden, and Capitol Hill Park has a playground and open fields.
Things to do: historic Capitol Hill Park, with its playground, rinks and ball diamond; Confederation Park and the Lions Festival of Lights on the north edge; West Confederation Park’s spray park, tennis courts and rink; shows at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, from Calgary Opera to Alberta Ballet’s Nutcracker; and trivia, yoga and Neighbour Day at the community centre.
Nearest farmers’ market: Cambrian Heights Farmers’ Market, 600 Northmount Drive NW — Tuesdays, 3–7 pm, late May to early October — about 1.7 km away. Year-round, the closest is Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers’ Market (1320 5 Avenue NW), about 1.7 km away.
