WHCA Neighbourhood Walk

From the WHCA and the entire community of West Hillhurst, we thank you for inviting our summer-students into your home and on your property.  Our students had the opportunity to help showcase West Hillhurst Community Association’s programs, events, membership benefits and offerings at the community association.  

We want to thank Kelsey and Jodi for their hard work and commitment in helping the community become aware with CA.  The membership drive was a success and we wish the girls the best of luck in their future, as both girls will be completing their respected degrees starting in September!

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.  For more information, please check out Global Calgary’s Event page:  https://globalnews.ca/event/4177964/alberta-mustangs-auto-club-35th-annual-presidential-show-and-shine/
