Varsity Community Association

The Varsity Community is located in northwest Calgary between Crowchild Trail, 32nd Avenue and the escarpment overlooking the Bow River valley and the neighbouring communities of Bowness and Montgomery. The district is well serviced by Calgary Transit -- several bus routes run through the area and the C-Train is available at nearby Brentwood station. Many other facilities and services can be found within its boundaries, including schools, churches, shopping plazas and malls. Also nearby are the University of Calgary, Calgary Public Library (Nose Hill Branch) and sports facilities. An active community association runs several programs and activities for all ages from the centrally located community centre. And its most important and outstanding feature (in the writer's opinion, who is also a resident) -- a quality of life that is enhanced by the many parks and open spaces where you can take a quiet stroll, enjoy a fun-filled family outing, or just watch nature up close.
