The community of Shawnessy in Southwest Calgary began building in 1981, though its roots began much earlier.

Named after British settler Samuel Shaw, who built a log house near Fish Creek in 1882, Shawnessy's history lives on through the almost 100 year-old building that is now home to the Shawnessy Community Association. The Shawnessy Barn remains a historical landmark in the midst of a beautifully treed 17-acre green space in the heart of Shawnessy. The Shawnessy Community Centre Association (SCCA) spends a great deal of time working on behalf of the entire community as a strong voice on issues such as development and planning, traffic and transportation, recreational facilities and programs, safety, municipal by-laws, and community affairs. One of the goals of the community association is to continue to increase membership and involvement of its residents to ensure continued success in building a close knit, and safe community.
