Canyon Meadows was annexed by Calgary in 1961 and construction began two years later; about three-quarters of its homes were built between 1961 and 1980. Housing is mostly single-detached (61% in 2021), with a large share of row houses (22%) and low-rise apartments (13%). The name comes from its setting above the Fish Creek Park bluffs.
