Cayley
Snuggled in the foothills, surrounded by a successful agricultural heritage is the serene hamlet of Cayley. As a close community with "family" as their top priority, the population has grown with young families. These residents have chosen Cayley specifically for two reasons: one being the lower cost of housing on today's market and second as an escape from the pressures of a large metropolis where safety concerns are growing daily.

Cayley is also home to a Hutterite colony and a colony school. In 2001, two Cayley Colony girls were the first students from an Alberta colony school to write provincial diploma exams and graduate from high school.
Just 73 kilometers south of Calgary and 13 kilometers south of High River, Cayley sits conveniently within commuting and business distance of two major centres. Also, being in southern Alberta has its benefits, with British Columbia lying just beyond the magnificent Rocky Mountains to the west and the United States border crossing only a scenic two hour drive away.

Come visit southern Alberta hospitality at its finest in Cayley!


Calgary: Evergreen Estates
Evergreen Estates is a suburban residential neighbourhood in the south-west quadrant of Calgary, located south of the Fish Creek Provincial Park, and south-east from the Tsuu T'ina first nation reserve.
This 99 hectare parcel of land is being developed as a low density residential community with a central open space to form the hub of a linear park system accommodating pathways linking the adjoining communities to Fish Creek Provincial Park.
 

Evergreen Estates is the older and more established section of Evergreen. The two sections have separate community associations and street naming patterns. All streets with "Evergreen" in their name are members of the Shawnee-Evergreen Community Association, which includes Evergreen Estates along with the neighbouring community Shawnee Slopes.
 

The Calgary Board of Education recently opened the new Evergreen Elementary School, which accommodates Kindergarten to Grade 4 students residing in Evergreen and Evergreen Estates.
