Hillhurst-Sunnyside Community Association 60th Anniversary of Incorporation
August 16, 2008

Jim was pleased to join  the Board of Directors, staff and volunteers of the HSSCA in celebrating their 60th Anniversary of Incorporation.

The first homesteads appeared in 1880's - the most notable being that of Felix McHugh.  In 1883, he established his homestead in Section 21, now known as Hillhurst.  The site of his house is now a playground at the corner of 9A Street & Memorial Drive.  Ezra Riley acquired the land, and sold it to the city in 1904.  He also donated a 20 acre parcel, which is now known as Riley Park . 

Along with Alderman Druh Farrell, Jim presented a framed picture of Cricket in Riley Park, CIRCA 1920's to Jackolyn Coughlin, President HSSCA.  Hillhurst-Sunnyside is one of the most vibrant communities in Calgary Centre-North.
