By the numbers
Dalhousie 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 Dalhousie
Fun facts: Dalhousie is named for George Ramsay, the 9th Earl of Dalhousie, Governor General of British North America in the 1820s — and the street signs follow: nearly every street starts with “Dal,” 26 in all, many of them Scottish place names like Dalkeith, Dalmeny, Dalbeattie and Dalmarnock. The Dalhousie Farmers’ Market opened in 2021 and sells over 90% Alberta-made goods. And the community is planting a food forest beside its new garden, for future seasons.
Dalhousie is an established northwest community from 1967 (the typical home dates to 1975), bounded by John Laurie Boulevard, Shaganappi Trail, Crowchild Trail and Sarcee Trail. It’s a mix of split-levels, bungalows, townhomes and some apartments, with its own CTrain station and the Dalhousie Station shopping centre on Dalhousie Drive. Neighbours are Brentwood, Varsity, Edgemont and Ranchlands, and Nose Hill Park sits across the intersection at the northeast corner.
Four schools are inside the community: Dalhousie School (K–6, Spanish bilingual), West Dalhousie, St. Dominic and H. D. Cartwright (grades 7–9). The community association’s centre on Dalhart Road has a 350-seat hall and a free outdoor rink, with free City tennis courts beside it. A new community garden and food forest is being built, with plots opening soon.
Things to do: free skating on the outdoor rink behind the community centre, daily from 7:30 am to 10:30 pm all winter; free first-come tennis on the City courts; the Christmas Craft Market, with more than 60 Alberta makers, each November; and trails and off-leash areas in Nose Hill Park.
Farmers’ market: Dalhousie Farmers’ Market, 5432 Dalhart Road NW — Thursdays, 3:30–7:30 pm, outdoors June to early October; indoors in spring. Year-round, the closest is Calgary Farmers’ Market West (25 Greenbriar Drive NW), about 5 km away.
