About Signal Hill
Signal Hill is a relatively large community situated on the western edge of the built-up area of Calgary. Although the area was annexed to the city in 1956, it did not start to develop until 1986. The primary form of development in the area is low density residential. Signal Hill is part of an elevated plateau which stretches west for a distance of approximately 7 kilometres. As a result, there are some excellent views of the mountains and the Elbow River Valley. The Canadian Armed Forces used part of the Signal Hill area for training purposes in the First World War. The regiments who trained in this area had their identification numbers set, using large characters and stone as the material, into the hill side which is now known as Battalion Park.
The centrepiece of Battalion Park is the large whitewashed stones, arranged on the side of the hill to spell out several numbers representing the four battalions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force who trained in the region before embarking for combat deployment overseas during the First World War.
The numerals (113 137 151 51) were created by 16,000 stones hauled in sacks by hand from the river two kilometres away by soldiers in their off duty time. After the war, the numerals fell into disrepair and became overgrown and forgotten until a local historian looked for them prior to grading of the hill to accommodate construction in the area. Following extensive lobbying to declare the numbers a historic site, a project initiated by several cadet groups in Calgary restored the numerals. Battalion Park officially opened on November 3, 1991.
