What to know about Laurier Heights.
Laurier Heights is located on the west bank of the North Saskatchewan River Valley, and was one of the first residential neighbourhoods built with a curvilinear street pattern. The City's Valley Zoo and recreational area is located in the adjacent river valley.
Laurier Heights has a small neighbourhood shopping centre which provides various services to residents in the neighbourhood. Residential land use consists almost entirely of single-detached dwellings, although some units within the neighbourhood are located in low-rise apartment buildings. A centrally located school and park site form a focal point within the interior of the community, and connection with 149th Street provides access to Whitemud Drive (east-west) and other amenities north of the neighbourhood.
Laurier Heights Park is the name of the school-park site, and the similarly named Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park is also located in the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood name is likely similarly named in honour of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the seventh Prime Minister of Canada.
