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 Richmond

Fun facts: this land was part of William Nimmons’s 3-D Bar Ranch — and his quarry nearby supplied much of the stone for Calgary’s first City Hall. The streets were redrawn in the late 1940s, which is why they curve along Richmond Road. And the Skate Shack beside the community rink has an outdoor fireplace and BBQ.

Richmond — often called Richmond/Knob Hill — sits in inner southwest Calgary on both sides of Crowchild Trail, between 17 Avenue SW and 33 Avenue SW. It was annexed in 1907 and 1910, and most original homes were 1950s bungalows. Today there’s a mix of older houses, many semi-detached homes and infills, duplexes and low-rise condos.

The Richmond Knob Hill Community Association hall at 2433 26 Avenue SW has a skating rink, hockey rink, basketball court and community garden. MAX Yellow stops at 17 Avenue and 26 Avenue on Crowchild, and Marda Loop’s shops are on the south edge.

Things to do: Richmond Green Park, where the ball diamond and toboggan hill stay open during construction; winter skating at the community rink; the community garden and birdhouse sculpture by the hall; the Richmond off-leash area; and shops and cafés in Marda Loop along 33 Avenue.

Farmers’ market: Farmers & Makers Market at cSPACE Marda Loop, 1721 29 Avenue SW — Saturdays, 10 am–2 pm, late May to mid-October. Year-round, the closest is Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers’ Market (1320 5 Avenue NW), about 4 km away.
