Hello April! Bring on the sunshine and warm weather! The snow is melting, and I hope everyone is enjoying more time outdoors. Thank you to all our rink volunteers and snow shovellers for your hard work this winter! It is greatly appreciated.
We held a mitten knitting class at the beginning of the March with our very own neighbourhood knitting guru, Carolyn Joels. If you are interested in beginner/intermediate or drop-in knitting classes, please email [email protected].
Dust off those racquets! Our tennis and pickleball courts will be opening on May 1, 2025. As an HCA member, you have to purchase an HCA Racquetball Club Membership Add-On to book and play on the courts. Bookings can be made in person and online for 30 minutes to a maximum of one-and-a-half-hour durations.
The HCA is starting up a gardening group with discussions to develop a community garden. For more information or to join the team, please email [email protected].
Programs and Events
Registration is open on our website for the community Easter Egg Hunt event on April 19 taking place in the natural playground.
