community association awareness month 2025

Every March, we come together with The City of Calgary to raise our voices for Community, and support the 156 Community Associations across our city, who make Calgary’s 200+ neighbourhoods a great place to live work and play!

Community Associations (CAs) are grassroots non-profits, who are dedicated to offering their communities social, educational and recreational opportunities close to home. They build connections between neighbours and provide a voice for community life in municipal proceedings. Whether you know it or not, you have been positively affected by the work of Community Associations and its volunteers.

This month, be part of it! Support the vibrancy of your community by getting involved with your Community Association. Whether you attend an event, register for a program, buy a membership or volunteer, being active in your Community Association strengthens connections between neighbours, increases safety and improves the quality of life for everyone.

What is a Community Association, you ask?

Community associations (CAs) are dedicated to ensuring our communities offer a great place to live, work and play. Volunteers lead these organizations. They support neighbourhoods throughout The City by connecting residents and providing a voice for community life while offering social, educational, and recreational opportunities close to home.

Community associations have the unique ability to mobilize, support, and interact with their residents to improve neighbourhood life in Calgary.

Everyday, they make significant contributions to the health and well-being of your community. Community associations exist in every neighbourhood in Calgary – they are non-profit organizations run by your neighbours and other volunteers that connect you, act as a voice for your area, and offer you endless opportunities close to home.

Our CA structure is a unique feature of Calgary, and one of the reasons that Calgary is such a vibrant city. 

Every Community Association is as unique as the Community it serves.
