A Community with Rich History

Currie Barracks has a celebrated history dating back nearly a century where it began as a Canadian Armed Forces Base, which today is incorporated into its residential streetscapes and parks through various monuments honouring fallen veterans and other war heroes of Canada.

1934 - The Canadian government spends $1.6 million over two years to build the base as a means to support employment during the Great Depression. It was named after General Sir Arthur William Currie -- arguably the most influential Canadian of the First World War.

1964 - The military base saw its first closure of many, with the airstrips shut down. The remaining property was sold to the City of Calgary, Mount Royal College, and private companies.

1998 - The consolidation of forces to the Canadian Forces Base Edmonton results in CFB being decommissioned and is then purchased by Canada Lands Company (CLC) for development.

2007 - The City of Calgary approves the Currie Barracks Community Plan, which is the third and final phase of CFB redevelopment; first, was Garrison Woods, second was Garrison Green.

2010 - Construction begins on Currie Barracks real estate - mostly single-family homes - and the community officially launches into the Calgary residential market.
