The weather was great, the Easter Bunny was generous, the kids were excited! What a great day to spend some time hunting Heritage Hills for special painted rocks to exchange for Easter candy.

The support and attendance was encouraging and we hope everyone had a great time. Hope to see you out for our future events in your community.

An enthusiastic group of kids, teens and adults participated in at fun afternoon of street hockey on the basketball courts. Thanks to everyone who attended, organized, shoveled, sponsored, and simply made for a positive experience in our community.

Getting “In the Spirit” HHCA Open House and Haunted House

Saturday Oct. 22, 2022

Community residents of Heritage Hills gathered at the Cochrane Club House Activity Centre, part of the Cochrane Ranch for a scary good time! The community Open House and information session allowed people in the neighbourhood to find out more about the Community Association while having a scary good time. More than 150 people came through our information desk, mildly scary room and the very scary upstairs attic. Judging by the enthusiasm and frightfully good comments the event was howling success. Thanks to all the Board, volunteers and especially Mark and Terri Hayes for a stellar effort in putting on the fun event.

Saturday in the Park, July 30, 2022

HHCA invited everyone to enjoy some Tacos / Poutine and Music for a relaxing, long weekend gathering in the “Garden Park” on Heritage Drive. For three hours a steady stream of neighbours and friends joined-in and savoured the food, weather and conversation.

2021 HHCA Open House / Food Truck Gathering

The Heritage Hills Community Association held their annual Open House at the park on Saturday, September 18th. Everyone enjoyed a sunny (and windy) afternoon with a couple of food trucks and free cupcakes! T

he HHCA directors wanted to meet some neighbours and promote the group’s work so far. We are wrapping up another successful season at the Community Garden and are looking for someone to take over the garden director’s position next year.

At long last we are starting to see some construction activity in phases 4B and 5B which will complete Stage 1 of Heritage Hills, and continue to liaise with the Town on  planning and development in and around Heritage Hills.

Committed volunteers are always welcome to help us get new projects off the ground, plan events, and increase membership. Please visit the website Video Open House Page for this year’s videos and additional information about our community.

Community Clean-up Day

May 8, 2021.

Heritage Hills Community Association held a Clean-Up Day for the residents to help beautify our community. 

Despite the cold and rainy morning a hardy core of H.H. residents took on the task of tidying up the neighbourhood. Bags, and gloves were supplied by the town and the disposal of bags was handled by the Cochrane Eco Centre.

HH Board members also took an active role in the clean-up and filled plenty of bags with trash. Some interesting items were found discarded around the neighbourhood, especially in the ravine. Some of the found items, included a hockey puck, vampire teeth, and a baseball bat.
Prizes were given out for the “best finds”!!  Thanks to Nikki Anguish our Events Co-coordinator for organizing the event. We hope that everyone continues to “Clean-Up” the community all year long.

Easter Bunny – Skip the Hunt!

Heritage Hills residents were treated by a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny, Sunday Apr. 4th, 2021. Lucky neighbourhood children received a special Heritage Hills Community Association Easter Basket. Luckily the intrepid rabbit made quick work of the deliveries and finished before some blowing, snowy weather arrived. Thanks to Nikki Anguish, Jason Blanchette and Bill Yorke for their efforts to bring the Easter Bunny to the community.

We would like to thanks all of those who made last nights Santa in the Park event (Nov. 30, 2019) such a huge success. A big shout out to some 60 plus families about 175 people, who braved the cold and came out to enjoy some great hot chocolate Thanks to McDonalds and cookies/candy canes thanks to Stepper homes. None of this would have been possible without the igloo tent from Re/max on such a cold night some borrowed heaters and the generosity of our volunteers who pitched in with lights and chairs etc. We especially like to thank Matthew Shannon for all his hard work and for helping Nathan from Calgary Balloons to set up and tear down that tent in -20 weather. Of course, the stars of the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Claus who took the time out their busy schedule to come visit Heritage Hills for a couple of hours and make some dreams come true and even read a story to some very eager listers. It’s a great way to end a year of successful events for kids and families and we hope everyone had a great time! Happy Holidays!
