Several big box stores (Staples, Office Depot) are located along the Lougheed Highway.
A new Costco store was recently built east of Willingdon in the Still Creek industrial area.
In May 1952, the Willingdon Heights Community Church officially opened, after a concerted effort for over two years to establish a meeting place for the congregation.
