Laurier Heights Community League Description
Laurier Heights Community is one of the older, more established neighbourhoods in Edmonton. It is a wonderful place to live for both people and wildlife. The river valley borders two sides of this community, connecting it to the Valley Zoo (Edmonton's only zoo), and Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park, with its expansive lawns, picnic areas and boat launch. Both the zoo and park are significant recreational and cultural venues for the community and city.
The Canterbury Foundation has chosen Laurier Community to provide homes for those seniors in the community who can no longer live on their own. This beautiful, quiet setting also allows seniors easy access to major traffic routes, shopping centres and downtown Edmonton.
At the centre of the neighbourhood, Laurier Community Park boasts a large playground complete with spray park and well maintained tennis courts, drawing families from all three communities.
