The majority of Silverspring was constructed during the late 1980s and through the 1990s, on land formerly administered by the University of Saskatchewan. The land for the Silverspring community was annexed between 1955, and 1959;[2] however, the majority of residential building construction was done after 1991, and a small amount of construction was just one decade before this.[1]
