Video Games at WHCA?

Have you got an interest in video games and e-sports? Would you like to see related events & programs held at the West Hillhurst Community Association?

Well for those of you who read our blog, we’ll let you in on a little secret: the WHCA is considering doing e-sports and video game related events and programming, pending feedback from the community members and potential partners.

Neat, huh?

We understand the increasing interest in video games and the passion community members have for the industry and want to provide activities at the facility to help foster that passion and interest. This can only be a reality, however, if we receive enough feedback and interest from the Calgary community.

In order to get an idea about community interest and potential involvement, we put together a very, very brief survey and would appreciate your feedback. Just click that link and fill out the survey. It should only take a minute or two depending on your answers.

Got comments and questions that weren’t addressed in the survey? Feel free to leave a comment on this post, down below.
