Ranked the number one activity of choice among Canadians, walking is a prescription for improved health and wellness. Walk briskly for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, and minimize your risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer. Additional benefits include weight management, blood pressure control and boosting good cholesterol (HDLs). Other benefits of walking: • Releases the body’s tension and stress. • Refreshes the mind and body, especially when walking outdoors. • Allows you to connect with your community. • Offers an excellent way to socialize with family and/or friends. • Increases “eyes on the street”, enhancing community safety. Walking with your Dog Edmonton has over 40 locations where you can enjoy your walk while your dog is off-leash. Please remember that all sites where dogs are permitted to be off-leash are multi- use areas used by all. Your dog must be leashed when not in a designated off-leash area. The dog icons show on this map are placed in the approximate location of each off-leash area, but do not show the precise boundaries. For more information, including details on off-leash boundaries, check the Parks for Paws Brochure or go to edmonton.ca (keyword off-leash) There are 1,440 minutes in a day, schedule 30 of them for walking! Calder Calder’s history is rooted in railway history and has remained a railway community with CN’s Walker Yard an adjacent neighbour to the south. In 1909 the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway established a divisional point at Calder and began construction of its round house and repair shops. A.W. Young then built a small general store soon followed by boarding houses and restaurants. Construction workers first lived in tents. The first church also held services in tents. A school district was organized in September 1910 for local children. By October 1910 there were 45 houses, three stores, three churches, a school and a “modern and complete telephone service”. Calder lots sold for $175 and $225 for corner lots. Calder amalgamated with Edmonton in 1917. The attractive clinkerbrick craftman cottage built by Frederick S. Jones in 1926 is a reminder of the builders who lived in Calder. Jones was a brick layer and stonemason who lived at 13067 – 115 Street; a Municipal Historic Resource. Lauderdale Lauderdale dates back to James Lauder who farmed on land he owned near by the area. By 1918 the Williamson Brothers owned most of Lauderdale but the area was put into the city tax sale at the end of the First World War, despite requests from the owners to have Lauderdale taken off the lists. The City Solicitor ruled that the City Commissions had no power to do this. Many of the first residents worked in the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway yards. Grand Trunk Park developed in the Northwest corner with the southern portion locally called Onion Park due to a farmer growing onions. It was also considered a crash zone for the City Airport. Planner Noel Dant announced in February, 1951 that progress was being made on designing and completing new post-war residential neighbourhoods. Plans were designed to route traffic around the new neighbourhoods and not through them. In 1955 Lauderdale was ready for development. Residential streets were laid out on a modified crescent system with parks and school grounds included in the layout. Kensington Kensington was first subdivided in 1911 and amalgamated by greater Edmonton in 1913. The original subdivision was abandoned before any development occurred and was not replotted until the Noel Dant plan for post-war residential development. The earlier grid pattern was replaced in the 1950s by a model in which services were centrally located with enclosed road access. This is evidenced today by the shopping centres across from the Elementary School and at the intersection of 132 Avenue and 127 Street. For many years Kensington was home to the “Kensington Queen”. Rosslyn Rosslyn was annexed by Edmonton before the First World War but it was not until the late 1950s that Rosslyn was subdivided with the area filled up by the late 1960s. Rosslyn is mostly residential with commercial development along 134 Avenue and in the Northeast Corner the Rosslyn Shopping Centre that opened in July of 1962.
