Welcome to Evanston 

Situated in the Symons Valley area in Calgary’s northwest, Evanston offers every comfort you could need. Evanston is an EQWell initiative built on a commitment to minimize our impact on the environment, provide ample places for outdoor activity, and create innovative and diverse communities that cater to all stages of life.

Evanston was designed to encourage people to come together.

Evanston is a community that was designed for growing families.

With access to the right amenities to foster an environment of opportunity and development; this includes parks, green spaces, libraries, and most importantly, schools.
