Village of Griesbach

The Village of Griesbach, a residential area in North Edmonton bounded by 153 Avenue NW to the north, Canadian Forces Trail to the east, 137 Avenue NW to the south and Castle Downs Road NW to the west, is the unique result of the redevelopment of Edmonton’s former Canadian Forces Base by Canada Lands Company in 2003. The land of Griesbach previously provided housing for military personnel and was established in 1950 as Griesbach Barracks. It was named after Major-General William Antrobus Griesbach (1878–1945), a Veteran of the South African War, First World War and Second World War.

La base des Forces canadiennes Edmonton (Griesbach Barracks) a été une installation militaire importante d’Edmonton à partir du début des années 1950 jusqu’à la fin des années 1990. Pendant cette période, des milliers de militaires canadiens étaient affectés à cet endroit.

The theme of Griesbach was developed to honour the deep military roots of the land on which it's built and recognizes military heroes and battles in which local military units participated. This theme is reflected in a variety of ways, including streets, parks and lakes.
