The Blairmore Suburban Centre is a community service/commercial/residential community currently under development in western Saskatoon. Saskatchewan. It is part of the city's Blairmore Suburban Development Area, a large region annexed from the Rural Municipality of Corman Park No. 344 in 2005. Ultimately, the SDA will consist of seven new neighbourhoods, plus the Blairmore Suburban Centre, which is the first component of the SDA to be developed.
The suburban centre lies south of 22nd Street West, which is also Saskatchewan Highway 14. Saskatchewan Highway 7 will form the area's western boundary once it is realigned to link up with a planned interchange at 22nd Street; as of January 2008, however, the highway is temporarily aligned with Betts Avenue within the suburban centre. The community also dovetails with the final phase of construction of the adjacent Parkridge community to the south. At present, the suburban centre consists of two high schools Tommy Douglas Collegiate and Bethlehem High School, plus a recreation/civic centre named Shaw Centre which opened the fall of 2008 with more development pending.
