Hello Hawkwood!
It is hard to believe we are almost halfway through 2025! Soon school will be out, and the warm, breezy days of summer will be upon us!
As the school year comes to an end, HCA’s Facility and Program Coordinator, Alexandra, has been working on bringing some great youth programs to the Hawkwood Community Park. All the details on these programs can be found on our website at hawkwoodca.com. Be sure to register early to secure your space!
Another sign of the start of summer in Hawkwood has been our memorable Neighbour Day events. Unfortunately, the HCA has paused this event for this year as I am sad to announce that our amazing Event Co-Chairs, Joleen and Shannon, recently advised the board of their resignation. After volunteering with the HCA for several years and organizing Hawkwood’s incredible Neighbour Day and Fall Festival events the past few years, Jo and Shannon needed to reset and prioritize their family and work life.
The HCA is very grateful for all the time and effort they committed to community-building through these events, and we will miss their creativity, energy, and passion. We extend our sincere thanks to Jo, Shannon, and their families (who always volunteered by their side) for their many contributions. I also want to acknowledge and thank Event Committee members Bryanna, Jenn, and Alysha, who provided fantastic support to Jo and Shannon in organizing and filling the many volunteer requirements needed to deliver these events over the years.
As their chapter comes to end, the HCA is looking for some new faces to build on Jo and Shannon’s successes. The HCA would love to keep hosting these events, but we need volunteers who have a passion for bringing their community together. Please email me at [email protected] to learn more about becoming involved in events or if you have any questions, comments, and want to learn more about the HCA!
In gratitude and kindness,
Michele del Valle
