Falconridge and Castleridge are adjacent communities on the eastern edge of developed Calgary, east of the Calgary International Airport. They offer excellent views of both the city and the mountains. The Falconridge/Castleridge area was part of the Municipal District of Rockyview before its 1961 annexation to Calgary. The area has numerous public and separate schools, including Bishop McNally High School.
The Falconridge/Castleridge Community Association is one of the most active in Calgary. The Community Centre is home to the Northeast Family Connections. This organization offers social services to help families within the Northeast, which includes counselling, baby clinics, immigrant services, parent support, free clothing and food, and financial aid. Aside from the Resource Centre, the Community Centre also houses preschool classes (2 days, 3 days) and a Before and After School care program (Buzz Club).
The Walsh and Langlois halls within the centre are home to various groups, including the Army Cadets, AA, Sparks, Self Defense, yoga, church & prayer groups and dance groups. Small meeting rooms can also be rented for training sessions, seminars, or small group parties. FCCA also sponsors ESL classes two days per week.
There are also Senior activities on Monday afternoons. These numerous programs enable the Falconridge/Castleridge community to appeal to the wide variety of interests and needs of their diverse residents. We have an outdoor rink maintained by volunteers. And in 2022, we opened our brand new FITPARK, which allows exercisers to keep active and fit, free of charge. There are also Board of Directors events such as skate days, Neighbour Days, Stampede events and Breakfast with Santa.
