History

The land on which Arbor Creek now sits was annexed between 1980 to 1984.[2] The majority of residential construction was done between 1996 and 2006, with a small amount of construction before this (the area first appeared on city maps in the late 1980s, branded as part of the neighboring Erindale community before being split off in the early 1990s). The housing stock is composed mostly of low density, single detached houses.[1] Roadways feature the names of prominent local personalities, many of them musicians, as well as several former mayors:[2]

  • Adaskin Cove - Murray Adaskin, LL.D., D.Mus.; conductor, composer, teacher and violinist.[4]
  • Beckett Green - Garth Beckett; pianist with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra.[5]
  • Buckwold Cove - Sidney Buckwold; former mayor of Saskatoon and former Liberal senator.

  • Guenter Terrace Crescent, Bay - Dennis Aron Guenter; firefighter killed in the Queen's Hotel Fire on May 31, 1980.[7]
  • Kaplan Green - Dr. David L. Kaplan, C.M.; winner of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, former head of the University of Saskatchewan’s Department of Music and former conductor of the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra.[8]
  • McFarland Place - Reginald B. McFarland; Professor of Music.[9]
  • Overholt Crescent, Terrace, Court - Dorothy Overholt; Saskatoon Symphony concertmaster.[10]

Institutions

Education

No schools exist in Arbor Creek. Though land was set aside for schools, the public and separate school boards decided to build schools in the adjacent Willowgrove neighbourhood.[11][12] The land is now being readied for more single-family homes.[13] Schools also already exist in the adjacent Erindale and Forest Grove neighbourhoods.
