Fun Facts

Pet Cemetery

The Pet Cemetery is the Ellen Foster Memorial Pet Cemetery located on the NE corner of 56th St and 22nd Ave NE in Pineridge. In 1922 Miss Foster co-founded the first SPCA in Calgary. Back in the mid 1970’s when the community of Pineridge was being developed the owner of this particular location donated it to the City of Calgary providing the City maintained it as a Pet Cemetery.

Davis’s Memorial Tree

Have you ever noticed the little Flaming Maple tree with the orange plaque outside the Pines Social Room? Davis was a Pineridge resident for most of his short life. He was a student at Douglas Harkness Elementary, Clarence Sansom Jr. High, and briefly at Lester B. Pearson High. He loved to ride his bike all over the neighborhood and volunteer whenever possible. Davis was diagnosed with cancer at 10 years old and passed away in March 2011 at 15. He is forever loved, and missed by many. Drop by and visit his tree any time!

Blue Thunder Slide @ Village Square Leisure Centre

Right in our own backyard! The Thunder Run water slide is six stories high and 173 meters (568 feet) long. Tons of fun for the whole family!
