The Hintonburg Community Association

Hintonburg Community Association

The Hintonburg Community Association (HCA) is a not-for-profit, volunteer-led group of local citizens, who are eager to make a difference in our community. Meetings are normally held the first Monday of every month at the Hintonburg Community Centre -- all members are welcome to attend.

The Hintonburg Community Association held its latest Annual General Meeting on September 27, 2011, with approximately 100 people in attendance, including Councillor Katherine Hobbs. There were reports from the HCA President, as well as the Committee Chairs. The AGM was followed by an “Open Forum” portion of the meeting.

An election was held for the Board of Directors. The 2011-2012 Board members are: Anthony Bruni, Cheryl Parrott, Dickson Davidson, Gemma Boag, James Valcke, Jay Baltz, Jeff Leiper, Linda Hoad, Matt Whitehead, Nicholas Olmstead, Pat O'Brien, Paulette Dozois, Robert McLean, Sharon Fernandez, Stefan Matiation, Valerie Stam, Wayne Rodney and Will McConnell.

This year’s Executive are Jeff Leiper (President), Matt Whitehead (Vice President), James Valcke (Secretary), and Nicholas Olmstead (Treasurer).

Volunteers are the life-blood of our organization. Multiple committees work on issues such as planning & development, security, the environment, our Hintonburg Cycling Champions, arts (including Artspark), the Centennial 5k Run/Walk, traffic, schools, movies, special events and more. Some of these require ongoing commitments of a couple of hours a month, and others a one-time commitment of just an hour or two.

Membership is open to all residents, property owners, and proprieters of businesses in Hintonburg for only $5 yearly or $20 for five years.
