HSCA hosted our first ever Warm up to Winter Pop up on December 18th at the Gladstone West Park in Hillhurst! Community members, volunteers, and staff kicked off our new parklet with a winter neighbourhood mixer! We were able to bring warmth to our community with fire pits, lights, chairs, and caroling!

The next Warm Up to Winter event was the Sunnyside Boxing Day Parade. Despite the incredibly cold temperature (yes, it was hovering around -30 C!), neighbours bundled up and brought the lights and festive cheer and energy to our community!

A HUGE shoutout all that participated in these events!

Both outdoor, socially distant community building events were made possible by Parks Foundation Calgary and the City of Calgary.

Stay tuned for details and dates on more of these outdoor events!
