Enjoy a walk through the historic neighborhood of Bridgeland-Riverside. First established in the 1880s, Riverside was established by Russian German immigrants during Calgary’s first significant population boom. Originally referred to as Germantown, the community grew over time, with Italian and Ukrainian immigrants. Because the Dominion Bridge Company operated in the village, citizens started referring to the village as Bridgeland and its formal name of Riverside. Riverside was incorporated as a village in 1903 and would form the Bridgeland Riverside Community Association in 1908 as Calgary would begin the process of annexing the village in 1910. Despite the urbanization of the neighbourhood, much of Bridgeland-Riverside’s heritage remains intact and it remains one of Calgary’s most walkable neighbourhoods and has a high concentration of heritage sites.

The walking tour will begin at the Poffenroth/De Wall Block, 608 Meredith Road NE working our way through the Bridgeland-Riverside neighborhood looking at several churches, residences and commercial properties ending the tour at Fire Hall No. 4, 104 6A Street NE.
