By the numbers
Renfrew 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 Renfrew
Fun facts: volunteers painted 17 animals riding bicycles along the 8 Avenue bike route, a project called “Unite the Heights.” Ukrainian Pioneers Park on 7 Avenue NE was renamed in 1991 to mark 100 years of Ukrainian settlement in Alberta. And the Stanley Jones corner store’s building dates to 1913 — many families have run shops in it over the years.
Renfrew sits on a terrace above the Bow River escarpment in northeast Calgary, east of Edmonton Trail and south of 16 Avenue NE. It grew mainly in the 1940s and 50s, and over a third of its homes were built before 1960 — a mix of older houses, low-rise condos, duplexes, townhomes and semi-detached homes, with views west from the escarpment.
The Renfrew Community Association hall at 811 Radford Road NE has a large hall, a rink, a community garden and a playground. Stanley Jones School and Colonel Macleod School are in the community, MAX Orange runs along 16 Avenue, and Bridgeland is just downhill.
Things to do: Renfrew Aquatic & Recreation Centre, with a pool, hot tub and steam room; Boogies Burgers on Edmonton Trail; The Stoop Cafe on Russet Road NE; the Stanley Jones corner store; and the escarpment views west, with Tom Campbell’s Hill nearby.
Farmers’ market: Bridgeland-Riverside Farmers’ Market, 917 Centre Avenue NE — Thursdays, 3:30–7:30 pm, mid-June to early October. Year-round, the closest is Crossroads Market (1235 26 Avenue SE), about 3 km away.
