Sponsorship & Advertising in the WHCA

We have some new and unique opportunities for local area businesses who are looking to connect with the West Hillhurst community!

Throughout 2019, not only will we be replacing the ice in the arena, but we are also adding a new gym wall divider! This means there will be brand-new sponsorship opportunities in these areas.

For the ice arena, we are adding 4 logos from sponsors onto the ice. These logos will be approximately 12’x7.5′ and will be painted around the center of the arena. Once the new ice is placed, these logos will be in place for 3 years and will be seen by all of our arena attendees, hockey & skating participants, and patrons of the Barn Pub! For only $1000/year, this is a great opportunity to connect with community members and your new customers.

In the gym, we will be replacing the current divider with a brand-new retractable wall! Sponsors for this wall will receive a large 6’x10′ logo on one of 4 spots along the divider as well as recognition on a wall-sign for when the divider is not in use. Our gym is extremely well attended and in use year-round. You can be a part of this opportunity for just $1200/year and expand your audience across Calgary’s inner-city neighbourhoods.

To learn more about these sponsorship opportunities and more, contact our marketing & communications coordinator Kyle at marketing@westhillhurst.com. We also have a marketing package pdf which can be viewed from www.westhillhurst.com/advertising-sponsorship/

Alberta Mustangs Auto Club 35th Annual Presidential Show and Shine

For many of us, we love looking at historical and antique vehicles. Some of us, we have our favourite ‘American Muscle’. For those particulars, the Ford Mustang is the icon for the American muscle, sexiness and pure young luxury. The iconic Mustang has gone through its’ share of some spectacular design and technological changes, followed by something that would leave us to desire. However, the Mustang remains a house-hold name and there is almost a cult-like following.

Join the Alberta Mustangs Auto Club for their annual Show and Shine event on June 16th, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. to get your fill of Mustangs and other Ford products. Check out the historical and antique rides or check out the modernized vehicles of today.

Because the benefits are exclusive, we strive to entertain a host of different companies that provide different discounts within the industry.

Our latest partnership with District12 Photographics provides our members to receive a discounted rate on regular portrait sessions.

Photographer Mitch Wiebe got his start back in 2008 and in 2011, he took on another creative art form in hand; reporting and writing.

Since its’ introduction, Mitch’s visually appealing works have exposed his great talent. Shooting everything from local and international modeling/talent agencies roster, to graduation days and weddings, nature and landscapes, to personal portfolio creatives, Mitch’s artistic abilities continue to thrive from his dynamic and original thoughts of art. Over the last eight years, his self-taught techniques have brought him much success in local, national and international markets, as he continues to bring creativity to his works with his unique eye for beauty.

Mitchell’s perception and innovative taste in portraits helps rekindle the beauty much of us tend to forget. Whether his shots are black/white or colour, they paint enticing stories and inspiring images that will never be forgotten. He continues to increase his knowledge and unique perception with the use of additional lenses, filters, and experimental light and shadow techniques. Mitchell’s unique perspective and invigorating skill continues and will create substantial conversation in the future and much the same can be said about his stories and writing techniques. We invite you to browse the site and check out the products & services that we have to offer. If you have any questions, please contact. We will continue to bring our followers, loyalists and clients up to date with promotion, changes and web site updates.

“My main focus now is capturing the beauty in this world that many seem to miss in their daily commutes. We, a many of a time, pass up the opportunity to take that additional minute out of our busy schedules, take a deep breath and analyze the exceptional beauty that is around us. If I can capture that one photo and bring upon the understanding and pure beauty to one person, I have accomplished my reasoning.”
