How long have you lived in Hillhurst-Sunnyside?  What do you like about living here?

25 years. I love that this neighbourhood has been so influential on Calgary food initiatives, transportation, culture and environmental action.

How did you get involved in volunteering in our community?

Our street decided to start having a block party, I met some fun people and it took off!

What would you tell others in the community about volunteering?  What do you like most about volunteering in the community?

Relationships are the most rewarding part of life. The ones with neighbours are a special kind and we're lucky in Sunnyside to have so many chances to create them. The projects we work on together make me laugh and recharge my batteries. We're stronger together.

What is a hidden gem in the community you have discovered and would like to share?

Sunnyside can get away with things few others can, and there are folks making cool things happen now. Keep your eyes open for the next surprise and join our Sunnyside Brightening Committee to create your own hidden gem!
