By the numbers
Elboya 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 Elboya
Fun facts: Elboya was once farmland, and the original farmhouse stood until about 2005. Madison Avenue and Crescent Boulevard were named before the First World War and later extended into Britannia. Princess Obolensky Park, in Stanley Park, honours a princess who fled Russia in 1917 and later opened a Calgary shop. And next door, Queen Elizabeth II toured Britannia in 1959.
Elboya sits along the Elbow River in inner southwest Calgary, from the river south to 50 Avenue SW, and from Elbow Drive east to 4 Street SW and Macleod Trail. The land was annexed in 1910, but most homes went up after 1947. About half are single-family houses, many mid-century, with some duplexes and low- and high-rise condos.
The Elboya Britannia Community Association has a small hall at 416 Park Avenue SW, with a patio and fire pit, and volunteers run two outdoor rinks in winter. Elboya School (grades 4–9, with French programs) is in the community. Route 3 runs along Elbow Drive, and the 39 Avenue CTrain station is nearby.
Things to do: Stanley Park next door, with a toboggan hill, tennis courts, picnic sites and river access; the Stanley Park Lawn Bowling Club, where the public is welcome; the Stanley Park outdoor pool in summer; the Elbow River pathway; winter skating at the Stanley Park and Crescent Park rinks; and independent shops at Britannia Plaza next door.
Nearest farmers’ market: Farmers & Makers Market at cSPACE Marda Loop, 1721 29 Avenue SW — Saturdays, 10 am–2 pm, late May to mid-October — about 2 km away. Year-round, the closest is Crossroads Market (1235 26 Avenue SE), about 3 km away.
