Currie, a residential area in South West Calgary bounded by the Lincoln Park community to the southwest, Sarcee Road SW to the west, 33 Avenue SW to the north, and Crowchild Trail to the east, is the unique result of the redevelopment of Calgary’s former Canadian Forces Base by Canada Lands Company. The land of Currie was previously used for training and operational administration.
The theme of Currie was developed to honour the deep military roots of the land on which it's built and recognizes the Second World War. This theme is reflected in a variety of ways, including Parade Square, Valour Park, Victoria Cross Boulevard and Trasimene Heritage Walk.
