Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association
The Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association (HSCA) serves the communities of Hillhurst, Upper Hillhurst and Sunnyside in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The community boundaries of Hillhurst include 8th Avenue N and 16th Avenue N to the North 10th Street W to the east, the Bow River to the south and both 14th Street W and 18th Street W to the West. The Sunnyside boundaries consist of Centre Street on the east and by 10th Street NW on the west. On the North, Sunnyside is bounded by McHugh Bluff Park and on the South by the Bow River.
Our primary service areas are Seniors services, Outreach services and Child Care, making us a full-service community centre. We also hold weekly Farmers’ Markets and Flea Markets, offer multiple recreation programs and our centre is available for event rentals.
Established in the early 1900s, Hillhurst Sunnyside is one of the older communities in Calgary. An important event in the community’s history was the construction of the Mewata Bridge over the Bow River in 1954. This turned 14th Street into a major link to downtown and initiated commercial redevelopment of the housing in the area. These areas, and the nearby business district of Kensington, have since been enhanced through the efforts of the Business Revitalization Zone Association. They, along with our Farmer’s Market and Flea Market, offer a number of diverse commercial opportunities for residents. There are also recreational areas nearby, at both Hillhurst Athletic Park and Riley Park. The community is also located on the C-train line.
OUR MISSION
Our mission statement is “to preserve and enhance a healthy and vibrant quality of life for the residents of Hillhurst-Sunnyside”.
