Moving to Wilden?
Whether you are building a house, purchasing a new home or a resale, we are always happy to see the Wilden community grow. Everyone who works for the development also lives here, so we are your new neighbours, too. Here’s how to get familiar with your new surroundings.
Connect With Your New Neighbours
Connect with the Wilden community through social media and stay up-to-date about everything that’s happening around you.
Follow us on Instagram and like us on Facebook.
Please, also request to join the private Facebook group ‘Neighbours of Wilden’. This is a community group and forum run by Wilden residents for all those who call Wilden home.
Find Play Parks & Trails
Kids play parks are located at:
- Hidden Lake Park on 1200 Long Ridge Drive

We are grateful for the beautiful trails and lakeviews right in our backyard. Many Wilden residents enjoy outdoor activities and nature experiences here. Some areas are city parks, others are private property that you enter on your own risk.
For the safety of our ecosystem, wildlife, fellow hikers and the entire community it is mandatory to follow the rules on our signs. Motorized vehicles, smoking, campfires and camping are strictly prohibited. All Wilden private land is monitored by cameras.

Wilden’s Wildlife
All of Wilden is closely connected to wildlife habitats. Wetlands have been restored by the developer. They offer waterfowl and several endangered species an environment in which they can thrive. Please always treat these sensitive areas with sensibility and care.
The wild areas of Wilden are home to deer and a number of predators. Coyotes are seen on a daily basis. Make sure to always stay on the trails in order to give wildlife undisturbed space.
Check out the nature and wildlife articles on our blog to learn more about our wild neighbours in Wilden.
Bears and cougars rarely make an appearance. Please be mindful and keep garbage out of reach for animals. Report sightings immediately to the wildlife conservation office. You can give them a call at 250.717.2757
In addition, your neighbours will appreciate it if you post a warning with the location of the sighting on the Neighbours Facebook page.
