Both Keheewin
and Bearspaw neighborhoods fall within the Yellowbird East Community League's
boundaries. Both areas are located in the southern part of Kaskitayo.
Housing development in both Keheewin and Bearspaw began in the 1980s.
Keheewin -- Cree for "eagle" -- is characterized by a mix of
residential and commercial uses. Keheewin has an elementary school to
serve the high number of young children living here and several large
retail developments are close by. Bearspaw
is named for Stony Indian Chief Masgwaahisd (Bearspaw). Many area homes
are centered on attractive sites, including Bearspaw Lake and Blackmud
Creek Ravine. Though strictly residential, the area offers easy access
to the commercial centers. Several retail
strip malls serve the area locally. Additional local amenities include
the Kinsmen Twin Arenas, William Lutsky YMCA, skateboard park, and several
churches.
