History

Named after the residential neighbourhood it was constructed in. An Indigenous-based name: Tipaskan is the Cree word for "reserve." The name Tipaskan was chosen because the Mill Woods area, where this neighbourhood is located, lies within the original boundaries of the Papaschase Indigenous Reserve No. 136. In 1889, the 103.3 sq km reserve was allotted to Chief Papaschase and his band under Treaty No. 6.
