By the numbers
Ramsay 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 Ramsay
Fun facts: During WWI, a warehouse in Ramsay was a secret, guarded lab working out how to get helium from Alberta natural gas for British military airships; the same building later made feed for fur farms, and also housed a casket company and a flour mill. Turk, a wild turkey, lived in Ramsay around 2019–20; his Facebook page passed 6,000 followers, and a local brewery named a beer after him. Ramsay's 1912 streets were named after the landowner's family members: Ramsay, Margaret, Constance, Alexander, Elizabeth and William. Ramsay kids used to sit on a hill at night and wave to the steam trains, since many of their parents worked for the CPR.
Ramsay is in inner-city SE Calgary, east of the Elbow River and Stampede Park, just south of Inglewood. It's named for CPR land agent William Thomson Ramsay. Its streets mix early 1900s homes, tree-lined boulevards and old industrial buildings turned into studios and taprooms.
The Ramsay Community Association runs an outdoor rink, a community garden and kids' soccer. A big new mural brightens the 12 Street SE underpass, and a Green Line station is planned nearby. The Elbow River pathway runs along Ramsay's western edge.
Things to do: Watch the skyline or Stampede fireworks from Scotsman's Hill. Walk the Elbow River pathway to Stampede Park and Inglewood. Get coffee at Calgary Heritage Roasting, then a pint at Dandy Brewing. Have brunch at Red's in Ramsay. See the underpass mural on 12 Street SE. Skate on the community rink in winter.
Farmers’ market: Crossroads Market, 1235 26 Avenue SE — Friday to Sunday, 9 am–5 pm, year-round, indoors (outdoor vendors in summer).
Recreation
What the Ramsay Community Association runs
There is no community hall in Ramsay. The association’s own published listing gives its facility as a rink and skate shack, and there is no hall on the grounds. What the association runs is outdoors, and the rinks are set up and maintained by volunteers. The City’s register does carry a Ramsay Community Centre at 2102 Ramsay Street SE, which is that same site rather than a rentable hall.
Listed by the Ramsay Community Association on its own site.
