Community Description |
go to top ^ |
Sunalta is located in Calgary’s southwest, just west of downtown. Its name is likely a derivation of “Sunny Alberta.” Sunalta was developed in two phases, first in 1909 and then in 1911. The area was established as a residential community in 1912. In the 1950s, Sunalta was rezoned and redeveloped to contain a number of apartment style walkups. There is a separate schools in the area.
Since 1954 the Sunalta Community Association (SCA) has been building a stronger, more connected community by offering diverse and responsive programs and services. It operates a 100-year-old community hall and revenue generated through rentals is invested back into the community. Sunalta is a Community Hub and is working to:
- Create welcoming and inclusive spaces
- Increase access to supports and services
- Engage residents in the design and activation
- Create platforms to spark community economic development
The SCA is busy fundraising for a new Hub facility to fund and deliver programming for Calgarians. It will be a purpose-built facility that includes a commercial community kitchen, coffee shop, and programming spaces. The Hub is a social enterprise, with the income it generates going back into the community – allowing the SCA to continue offering events, programs, and services. Want to learn more?
