By the numbers
Montgomery 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 Montgomery
Fun facts: the area was first called Shouldice — but mail kept getting mixed up with a hamlet of the same name near Gleichen, so in 1943 it was renamed for Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery. In 1909, James Shouldice and a neighbour gave 100 acres of river farmland to the City for a park. Montgomery was its own town until Calgary absorbed it in 1963, a year before Bowness. Today the street signs on Bowness Road carry a second name, “Montgomery Way,” and the 1910 Shouldice (Hextall) Bridge carries only walkers and cyclists on the Bow River pathway.
Montgomery sits in northwest Calgary on the Bow River, across from Bowness, from 32 Avenue NW south to the river and west of Shaganappi Trail. It was first settled in 1911. Homes are a mix of single-family houses, many semi-detached homes and infills, duplexes and low-rise condos.
The Montgomery Community Association hall at 5003 16 Avenue NW has a large hall, a gym, an outdoor rink and a hockey rink. Terrace Road School is in the community, and Bowness Road is the main street, with local cafés, pubs and shops.
Things to do: Shouldice Park, with a big accessible playground, sports fields and tennis courts; Shouldice Aquatic Centre, with a pool, dive tank and steam room; public skating and shinny at Shouldice Arena; Bowmont Park next door, with trails, a lookout and a small waterfall; and cafés, pubs and shops along Bowness Road, plus river float rentals in summer.
Nearest farmers’ market: Triwood Farmers’ Market, 2244 Chicoutimi Drive NW — select weekend dates, 10 am–2 pm, June to October — about 4 km away. Year-round, the closest is Calgary Farmers’ Market West (25 Greenbriar Drive NW), about 5 km away.
