District Planning is a multi-year project to build The City Plan’s 15-minute districts—small towns in our big city— where people can meet many of their daily needs locally.

Located in the northwest area of the city, the Northwest District is one of fifteen districts in Edmonton’s District Network as outlined in The City Plan. Sturgeon County and the City of St. Albert neighbour the district north and northwest, respectively, and adjacent districts include the Northeast, Jasper Place, Central and 118 Avenue (see Figure 6.1: Citywide Context). Exempting the Anthony Henday, the Northwest District includes the following neighbourhoods: Albany, Athlone, Baturyn, Baranow, Beaumaris, Belle Rive, Caernarvon, Calder, Canossa, Carlisle, Carlton, Chambery, Cumberland, Dunluce, Eaux Claires, Elsinore, Evansdale, Glengarry, Goodridge, Corners, Griesbach, Hagmann Estate Industrial, Hudson, Kensington, Killarney, Klarvatten, Lago Lindo, Lauderdale, Lorelei, McArthur Industrial, Mistatim Industrial, Northmount, Oxford, Pembina, Rampart Industrial, Rapperswill, Rosslyn and Wellington.

    CLOSED: This ideas has concluded.

    The Northwest District Plan contains information and a map on the district context. District context includes: 

    • Physical context which describes where the district is located within the city

    • Historical context which describes past uses of the land and cultural significance

    • Development context which describes the land uses and how the district is built 

    Figure 6.2: District Context - Assets in the district plan currently show the following feature categories: city-wide health and emergency services, community assets, and district energy opportunity areas. 

    The community assets category highlights features like arenas, pools, community halls, city-wide arts and cultural facilities, libraries, schools, post secondary schools, park and ride sites, open spaces, mass transit routes, and current employment areas. 

    When thinking about community assets that the City provides to Edmontonians, and what you access now or would like to access within 15 minutes from your home, are there other features you would like to see included on the map? If yes, post your idea and let us know why this matters to you.
