We know our community is full of awesome residents and captivating stories and we’re hoping to share that with everyone!  

Allow us to introduce you to Bekah! Bekah is Secretary of our HSCA Board for the last year and has loved being a resident of the Hillhurst Sunnyside community for the last 3 years. Let’s get to know Bekah…in 5 questions or less!

1. What goals do you have while on the Board?

My goals are to ensure that our meetings minutes are recorded properly and that we're ensuring that the association is governed as best as it can be!

2. What keeps you busy outside your Board duties?

I work full-time with the SAIT Students' Association as their Engagement Coordinator and am currently pursuing my BBA full-time as well! Definitely keeps me busy. Other than that I like to get outside, try new ways to stay active, and do new things that bring me joy!

3. What is your favourite thing about the Hillhurst Sunnyside Community?

I love all the local restaurants and vendors in the area, and I love that I am able to walk (when the weather allows it) wherever I want to go! We're so close to downtown, the river, there's just always something to do.

4. What does Community mean to you?

Community means somewhere that you feel at home. You recognize it and you feel safe. It's a place where you can be completely yourself, and there's support available to you.

5. Tell us the best binge-worthy series/show/podcast you enjoyed during quarantine. Or tell us about a cool hobby/activity you engaged in over the last year.

When the pandemic began I thought it would be fun to start taking piano lessons for the first time ever, at Bowtown Music! It was a lot of fun, pushed me outside of my comfort zone and gave me something to practice.
