Get a Helping Hand With Your Spring Projects

The Job from the Jar Day contest is coming to an end at the end of April, so you have a little over two-weeks to get your entry in if you haven’t already!

March & April’s JobJar contest in West Hillhurst will  see a lucky community resident and a neighbour of their choice win a free day with a handyman to help them out with their spring projects! Whether you need a hand cleaning up your yard, moving some things around the house, completing some home renovation projects, or whatever you can think of, the JobJar Skilled Doers will be able to spend some time helping you get those projects done. So if you’ve got any sort of project on the go, and would like to help out a neighbour in the process, then throw your name in the hat and see if you win.

For the West Hillhurst contest, we were lucky enough to get West Hillhurst Paint & Design on board to donate a gallon of paint for you and a neighbour of your choice! How’s that for an extra cherry on top?

To enter West Hillhurst’c Job from the Jar Day contest, visit www.jobjar.ca/jjp/?westhillhurst and fill out the entry form. We will announce the winner at the conclusion of the contest at the end of April.

Good luck!

Film Production @ WHCA

For the last while. a team of exceptional film and TV production specialists have made the WHCA home to the location of their short web series, The Parent Council  

Found on the Story Hive website, “Conner is a stay-at-home Dad who joins his daughter’s elementary school Parent Council because he wants to feel like he’s contributing more, and also to connect with other adults! When he gets there, he finds a diverse group of people (and personalities) who are all passionate about doing what they can for their kids and for the school – but everyone has VERY different ideas about what’s best for all. This is a group of people that would probably not be together outside of the Council but all share something in common: being parents and loving their kids. The series will be looking at the challenges (& sometimes the frustrations) of parenting through the lens of different cultures and different beliefs while trying to find common ground…as well as getting more sleep!

The Parent Council has been taking advantage of the awesome spaces that the WHCA community center has available to rent.  WHCA wants everyone to check out this silly, but real short and tell us what you think.  Please vote 5 stars ***** for the film and let the talents continue for Calgary and area.

Contest voting opened February 5, 2018 and will close this Friday, February 9, 2018.  Don’t delay and vote today.  By doing so, the film  and production team could win a package from Telus, that will help launch their web series and continue to support the community.  Better yet, WHCA will be the prime location for filming and producing the film.

Support the local talent and help continue to put West Hillhurst on the map for film and television production.  To watch and vote, click here.  For more information, please read below:
