Canon Ridge lies within the Hermitage area, and is named for an Anglican minister who arrived in Edmonton in 1875. The area had two cattle farms until as late as 1960, when it was annexed by the City.
Most housing was built in the 1980s on attractive curving streets and cul-de-sacs. The area contains appealing recreational spaces, as well as excellent access to river valley parks. Canon Ridge is extremely popular with young families. Civic ward: Dene. District: Northeast. City boundary records effective 1981-10-01.
