The City of Calgary has started the process of approving and rejecting cannabis retail applications (based on their review criteria and based on first-come first-serve applications).
Please review the latest post from the H-S Planning Committee at the link below, or more details at: https://www.cbc.ca/…/calgary-marijuana- store-application-ap…

Sunnyside landed on this list as #10 most engaged neighbourhood in #yyc !
Sunnyside was also listed as #15 for best Calgary neighbourhood overall. Hillhurst ranked #27 overall. Both areas scored high on engagement, restaurants and walkability.

If today (or any other hot #yyc day) you need a break from the heat please feel free to come into the HSCA building. It’s one of the rare times such a dark room pays off ;) . We have a water fountain and drink machines in the hallway and tables, chairs, benches and couches. Please respect our facility code of conduct and other patrons in the space but do come by if you need a cool spot to sit for a bit. @ Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association

Community Potluck is tonight! See you at HSCA from 6-8pm!

Neighbour Night is tonight from 6-8pm! This is a free program open to all residents of Hillhurst Sunnyside. We will have a free vegetarian meal available, as well as childminding services and a community building activity. See you tonight!

Did you know... the Hillhurst Sunnyside newspaper was established in 1970, and was at the time named The Citizen. The name was changed to The Voice in 1982.
Other potential names submitted for consideration were: - Hillhurst Sunnyside Communique - Milktoast and Bourbon... - The Last Post - The Lowest Common Denominator and - Boomtown Gazette (to name a few)

More information on the goats and their role in weed management on the McHugh Bluff!

Goats on McHugh Bluff !!!!!!
The City of Calgary – Your Local Government has hired Vahana Goats www.vahana.ca to help control the weeds along the bluff. They will be setting up camp at the snow drop area-near Center Street bridge. They will have goats and guard dogs as well as horses and some humans at the camp. It would be helpful if people keep their dogs on leashes in this area as the animals maybe nervous until they get settled. Sounds like they have some real friendly g...oats if anyone wants to visit and snuggle with Arrow. You might also see Hughie who is wobbly but is a really good weed eater.

I have been renting space for the Calgary New Age Market at this location for the past 4 years, and I just love the staff and the building! It's such a beautiful facility to hold events in, and they are very accommodating. I would recommend this location to anyone needing space!

I moved into this community last May and am very happy I did. It is a very pleasant place to live, I love the park on 3rd Ave, It has a small town feel to it, where children come to play, people come to sun bathe or picnic. Sunnyside has the very relaxed ambiance of a small town, and is five minutes from the centre.
