Hawkwood Parade of Garage Sales

With such a successful parade of garage sales last year we are excited to again host this great event. Open your garage and haul out all that stuff you’ve been hoarding. It’s time to sell it off! The annual Parade of Garage Sales will be held on Saturday June 8^th, 2013. HomeLife Central Real Estate has again graciously agreed to provide the community with Garage Sale signs. These signs can be picked up from their Ranchlands office between 10 & 4 on Thursday June 6^th and Friday June 7^th. The address is 1, 7750 Ranchview Dr NW (behind Ranchlands 7-11).

If you would like to register your home for the mapped list please email me at social@hawkwoodcalgary.com. Let me know your address & a short list of items you will be selling. Registration closes on May 31^st, 2013

Maps will be available for pick up starting June 3^rd at both HomeLife Centrals office and the Husky Gas station on Hawkstone Dr.

Happy selling and remember to get your HCA membership today, without our members events like this could not happen.

What Is the Hawkwood Community Association and How Does It Affect You?

A community association is an organization formed by the residents of an area:

   to manage and direct its social and recreational activities

  to act as an intervener in civic matters (planning and development)

to plan, develop and maintain community facilities and amenities

All Community Associations are autonomous bodies and individually registered as a society under the Alberta Government Societies Act. As a registered society their membership elects a Board of Directors to govern the organization. The only governing body that regulates community associations is the membership of the association. Societies Division of Corporate Registry has authority to approve incorporation, organizational Bylaws and requires a list of the Board of Directors and Financial Statements annually.

The Hawkwood Community Association has brought many social and sporting events to Hawkwood such as:

            Winter Festivals

            Movies In the Park

            Picnic In the Park

            Sundeas On Sunday

            Christmas Party

            Various Teen oriented events

            Park/Stay and Play programs

            U-4 to U-8 soccer

            Summer drop in soccer

            Maintains the skating rink

            Youth Badminton
            Monthly Hawk Eye Newsletter

The Hawkwood Community Association serves as the community voice at City Hall and with the province.  Some matters that the association has been instrumental in are:

            Community speeding and traffic concerns

            Vandalism and graffiti concerns

            Dog off-leash concerns

            The new Northwest Calgary Recreation Center

            The new Northwest High School,

            Liaisons with the two community schools,

            Local pathway and park improvements.

            Playground major improvements

            Community Clean-ups

            Community facility planning / creation

            Community Perimeter Fence Staining program

The association has also created and manages the Landscape Enhancement Fund (LEAF), a model program other community associations are pursuing. This program not only beautifies our community, but has an extremely positive impact on home values.  See the LEAF page for details.

The association could also some day be called into action as a voice for or against an infrastructure change, like developments on the pipeline corridor or changes with the high voltage power lines, sound attenuating walls, roadway changes, cell phone towers, and commercial developments to name a few.

The Hawkwood Community Association is funded with membership fees and is 100% volunteer run.

Please purchase your annual membership today to maintain and improve your home community.
