The community of Lindsay Park is located in Calgary’s SW, near the downtown core. It has a rich history in

Dr. Lindsay practised Medicine in Watford for eight years before coming to Calgary where he continued his medical practice. Dr. Lindsay served as Alderman on the first Calgary town council in 1884. He was physician to the Blackfoot, Sarcee and Stony Indians as well as the R.C.M.P. and C.P.R. employees.
