McCauley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

McCauley is an inner city neighbourhood, named for the first mayor of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, located just to the north east of the downtown core. It is a roughly triangle shaped neighbourhood bounded on the north by 111Ave/Norwood Blvd/112 Avenue, the west by 101 Street, and the south east by the LRT line and old Canadian National Railway right of way. Adjoining neighbourhoods are Boyle Street to the south east, Cromdale to the north east, Parkdale and Alberta Avenue to the north, Spruce Avenue to the north west, and Central McDougall to the west.

Edmonton's Commonwealth Statium is located near the north east corner of McCauley, with bus and LRT service provided at the adjoining Stadium LRT Station and Stadium transit terminal.^[1]

There are two schools in the neighbourhood, McCauley Public School and Sacred Heart Catholic School.

The neighbourhood has a large selection of religious assemblies representing a variety of faith groups: Ansgar Lutheran Church, Chin Yin Buddhist Society, Conerstone New Testament Church Of God, Cornerstone New Testament Church Of God, Croatian Catholic Church, Edmonton Chao Chow Benevolent Association, Edmonton Chinese Pentecostal Church, Edmonton Inner City Victory Church, Family Worship Centre, Hope Mission, Innercity Mission, Ming Ya Senior Citizen Association, Mustard Seed Street Church, New Life Chinese, Religious Education Centre, Sacred Heart Church & Rectory, St. Josaphats Cathedral, St. Peters Lutheran Church, St. Stephens Anglican Church, and the Ukrainian Pentecostal Temple. "Edmonton's 'Church Street,' more commonly known as 96th Street (in McCauley), was once cited by Ripley's Believe it or Not as having the largest concentration of churches in the world. There's no way to verify if the citation is accurate, but the street's dozen churches are certainly significant."^[2]

Rounding out the neighbourhood's sites of interest are the Giovanni Caboto Park and the Joe Clarke Athletic Grounds.
