Located along the Bow River in the northwest, our community is surrounded by wonderful parks, walking and biking paths and it is home to a diverse and every growing business community. We invite you to come explore some of our great shops and services.
What's Great
With a newly completed Main Street - we are pedestrian and bicycle- friendly and have local coffee shops and pubs, independent retail, restaurants for quick stops or for those exceptions meals that last all evening. It’s a perfect area to meet friends after a stroll with your four-legged friends. We are a community that is home to Calgary’s number one asset- its pathway system along the Bow River. If you are game for a leisurely float down the river, we have equipment rentals and drop off points. After a relaxing float, everyone needs an ice cream treat, or a beer, or cocktails and a meal with friends. Montgomery’s business community has a safe, small-town vibe and is the perfect Calgary community to support Canadian and Local. It is filled with everything from salon services for you, or spa and care for your pets. Automotive businesses are available to keep your vehicles tip top, flowers and gifts for that special someone, and thrift stores are fun for your second hand finds. We also have hotels close to downtown for the Stampede or right on 16th Avenue to get you to the mountains in an hour. What more could you ask for?
