March is Community Association Awareness Month

March is Community Association Awareness Month in Calgary. It’s a chance to celebrate the spaces, programs, and people that help our neighbourhoods feel connected and welcoming. HSCA has proudly served the Hillhurst Sunnyside community since 1948. We’re also one of more than 150 community associations across the city working to bring neighbours together through the Federation of Calgary Communities. (FCC, 2026). Together, these local organizations help foster connection, wellbeing, and vibrant neighbourhood life.

Maybe you’ve visited the Farmers’ Market or Flea Market. Maybe your family has been part of childcare programming here. Maybe you’ve joined a program like our new pickleball sessions, volunteered your time, or simply connected with neighbours along the way. However you show up, you’re part of what makes this community strong.

Ways to connect or support HSCA:
• Drop by a program, market, or community event
• Become an HSCA member. Your membership directly supports inclusive community programming: https://www.hsca.ca/membership
• Make a donation to help sustain accessible programs, events, and community initiatives: https://www.hsca.ca/donate
• Volunteer. Even a little time makes a real difference. Visit our Volunteer Connector page or contact Claire.L@hsca.ca
• Subscribe to our e-newsletter to stay connected
• Share your ideas, photos, or community stories with us at communications@hsca.ca

Community associations exist because neighbours show up for one another. Every visit, membership, volunteer hour, and conversation helps keep HSCA welcoming, active, and connected. Thank you for being part of it.
