Ogden, Calgary

Ogden is a residential neighbourhood in the southeast quadrant of Calgary, Alberta. It includes the districts of Lynnwood and Millican Estates. It is bounded by Glenmore Trail to the south, Deerfoot Trail and the Bow River to the west, and the CPR tracks and the industrial areas of Ogden Shops to the north and east.

Ogden was established in 1912. It is named after I.G. Ogden, former VP of the Canadian Pacific Railway, while the district of Millican takes its name from the Millican family, homesteaders of the early 1900s. It is represented in the Calgary City Council by the Ward 9 councillor.

The postal code in this area is T2C.

The Ogden Royal Legion is an abandoned building located in the Ogden neighborhood. It was previously used as a Royal Canadian Legion building and community centre. It was abandoned in 2012, and sat vacant until 2026. It is widely considered the most dangerous abandoned building in the city by local Calgary urban explorers, due to its large amount of violent crime, mold, asbestos, and other toxic materials.

In November 2023, the city of Calgary ordered the building to be demolished, in which the owners would take the city to court over the decision.

The attempt from the owner to cancel the demolition order was dismissed by the Court of King's Bench in mid-2025, with the city hiring a contractor to demolish the building for 2026.

In the early morning hours of October 1, 2025, the building would be engulfed in a fire. Roughly one third of the building was burnt, and emergency demolition of portions of the building underwent. Due to the unsafe conditions inside the building, fire fighters were not allowed to enter the building.

The Calgary Fire Department was dispatched to an abandoned house located at 7400 Ogden Road Southeast in the early morning hours of 6 October, 2020 after reports of a fire. No one was injured as a result of the fire, but the fire was deemed suspicious.
