It was named for the Shawnee native people. Shawnee Slopes is represented in the Calgary City Council by the Ward 13 councillors.[1]
Shawnee Slopes Golf Course[edit]
The Shawnee Slopes Golf Course was developed in the center of the community and was primary amenity for residents and the general public. On 13 June 2011, it was announced that the golf course would permanently close to the public on 2 October 2011.[3] In February 2013, the city council approved the redevelopment of the golf course lands to add 1,400 homes to the community.[4] This community is closely connected with the first-built, the northern section of the neighbouring Evergreen community. Shawnee and this part of Evergreen share the same community association, while the rest of Evergreen is independent.
