About us
The Parkhill Community Association is an non-profit society with an objective to promote and foster better relations among the residents of Parkhill Stanley Park Community Association and to serve the general community interest in any way possible.

We volunteer because we LOVE Parkhill
From community clean ups, to Christmas parties – we are volunteer powered. Strong Community Associations lead to robust communities, which in turn enhance overall life satisfaction and elevate land value. We are always in need of more assistance. If you are interested in supporting the organization by donating your time as a director or volunteering for an event, please reach out to us.
About the Name and Logo Change
The Board of Directors has approved adding a proposal to change our bylaws from “Parkhill Stanley Park” to simply “Parkhill” for the 2024 AGM. If this change is accepted, it will:
- Align our name with how the City of Calgary refers to us, as shown on the City community map: https://www.calgary.ca/council/wardboundarymap.html
- Ensure consistency with how neighboring communities identify us, as they commonly refer to us as “Parkhill”
- Result in a more concise name
To prepare for the AGM, we decided to update the website in advance. Since the website was updated by volunteers, we took a proactive approach by assuming the outcome of the AGM vote and choosing “Parkhill” to avoid additional work in case our assumption is correct.
Updating the website before the AGM was crucial as we are seeking more directors and community support. Having an updated website prior to promoting the AGM presents us in a more positive light.
