Be a Community Champion! Help Shape the Future of Highland Park

Dear Neighbors,

A thriving community starts with people who care and are willing to contribute their time, ideas, and skills. As our association looks ahead to an exciting new chapter, we are working towards securing major capital renovation grants to modernize our Community Hall and strengthen the way we manage our rentals, programs, and operations.

To help move these plans forward and ensure a strong, sustainable future for our association, we are looking for a few community-minded residents to step up as Committee Chairs / Project Champions and lead some important initiatives.

Whether you bring professional experience, organizational skills, fresh ideas, or simply a passion for making a difference in your neighborhood, this is an opportunity to put your talents to good use, connect with fellow residents, develop new skills, and help shape the future of our community.

You don't have to do it alone! Each Champion will have the opportunity to bring together a small team of fellow neighbors, with guidance, resources, and support from the Executive Committee along the way.

Have a few hours to spare and an interest in making a difference? Explore the opportunities below and consider becoming a Champion. Every contribution counts, and as the saying goes, many hands make light work!

Interested? Contact us at president@hpca.ca to learn more or discuss which opportunity might be a good fit for your interests, skills, and availability.
