Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association is a vibrant, inclusive community centre offering community-based programming, childcare, sports, and recreation facilities, and private hall rentals for business functions and special events.

Community Connections is delivered primarily by the Community Connections Coordinator and the Seniors Connections Coordinator.

The Community Connections Coordinator is fully responsible for facilitating programs including Neighbour Night and Sip n’ Chat, and supporting other community-based programs.
