The Role of Community Associations – Did You Know?
In Calgary, there are 152 community associations that stand for almost 200 neighbourhoods. More than 20,000 community association volunteers contribute approximately 2.4 million hours (about 274 years) of public service every year to organize and host social, recreational, and educational programs. They manage important neighbourhood facilities and are also often points of contact for local land use changes, providing engagement with the community beyond what is required by the City. Perhaps most importantly, they give a sense of community.
