Canon Ridge is a residential neighbourhood in the Hermitage area of north east Edmonton, Alberta, Canada that was mostly built up in the 1950s. It is named for an Anglican minister who arrived in Edmonton in 1875. Anglican Canon John William Newton served the people of Edmonton until 1900. The hospital he built just east of the old town, named the Hermitage, is the namesake of the Hermitage area. The Newton neighbourhood and community league are also named in his honour. The neighbourhood overlooks the North Saskatchewan River valley.
