A Welcoming Community
McConachie Heights isn’t just about convenience – it’s also about enjoying what nature has to offer. The McConachie Tree Stand, located in the centre of the neighbourhood, provides a sustainable natural area to explore and enjoy. With green spaces and parks no more than 500m from your front door, there’s always something interesting to explore.
McConachie Heights is named after Grant McConachie, a pioneering Canadian bush pilot and aviation entrepreneur who lived in Calder (now a part of west-central Edmonton). His work in the aviation industry allowed Edmonton to become a hub for flights throughout western North America and, eventually, to Europe, Asia, and South America. His endeavours contributed to Edmonton’s explosive growth in the first half of the 20th century, making it one of the largest cities in the country.
McConachie Heights is part of a strong foundation including grocery stores minutes away and the brand-new K-9 school on the main drive, but there's even more to come – including the McConachie Crossing shopping centre, another school, and extensions of the sprawling green spaces surrounding the neighbourhood.
