Bridlewood is a large community with many homes and one of the biggest benefits to living in a large residential neighbourhood is the amount of schools that will be around to educate the area’s population. Bridlewood is no exception to the rule and there are four unique schools within the community borders. Bridlewood School provides education to elementary aged students in the public system and Monsignor J.J. O’Brien is the local Catholic School with almost 1,000 students between Kindergarten and Grade 9. The massive Glenmore Christian Academy and the small Academy for Mathematics & English each provide additional education to local students and adults.

Bridlewood residents head to the Shawnessy Towne Centre for all their shopping needs. Major anchor tenants in this busy retail hub include Walmart, Co-op, Home Depot, Future Shop, Canadian Tire among many other shops and services. Closer to home, the Shoppes of Bridlewood has a Sobeys, medical clinic and various other shops as well.
