By the numbers
Scenic Acres 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 Scenic Acres
Fun facts: residents rewrote their own neighbourhood plan in the 1980s — they moved the community centre site, combined two school sites, moved a main road so it wouldn’t become a shortcut, got the planned CTrain station shifted about 200 m and had Stoney Trail lowered behind a higher sound berm. The arena came before most of the houses: Crowchild Twin Arena opened in 1982, and Scenic Acres still owns a third of it. Its old-timers tournament, the “Summit Series,” drafts players onto teams named Canada, Ukraine, Finland and Sweden. Crowchild Trail is named for David Crowchild, Chief of the Tsuut’ina Nation from 1946 to 1953. And Monsignor E.L. Doyle, the school’s namesake, came to Calgary in 1917 for his health and died suddenly on a train during his first trip home to PEI.
Scenic Acres sits in northwest Calgary above the Bow Valley, between Crowchild Trail, Stoney Trail and Nose Hill Drive, and is named for its wide views of the Bow Valley, the Paskapoo Slopes and the Rockies. It was established in 1981, and most homes went up in the 1980s and 90s — nearly all single-family houses.
The Scenic Acres Community Association centre at 8825 Scurfield Drive NW has a hall, beach volleyball courts, two outdoor rinks, playgrounds and a community garden. Scenic Acres School, Monsignor E.L. Doyle School and École du Nouveau-Monde are in the community, and footbridges link it to Crowfoot CTrain station.
Things to do: hockey and skating at Crowchild Twin Arena; beach volleyball at the community centre; the community garden’s 38 raised beds; City tennis and pickleball courts on Scenic Acres Drive; and Scenic Acres Park, with its gardens and wooden sculpture.
Nearest farmers’ market: Calgary Farmers’ Market West, 25 Greenbriar Drive NW — Wednesday to Sunday, year-round, indoors — about 3 km away.
