The Hart Community Association has been working hard over the last several years to build a sense of con-nection and pride in their community.

Part of their work has been to develop and promote accessible, affordable and quality recreational program-ming to residents of the Hart and to provide special events such as Family Fun Day at Ferguson Lake and Skate with Santa at neighbourhood rinks. Alongside this work has been a small group of volunteers working towards beautifying the Hart area. The flower baskets, planters, revamping of the Hart Highland sign, and ban-

ners have come to fruition because of a dedicated group of volunteer association members and the generous donations of businesses in the Hart area. It is a small but determined group.

“Part of our bigger picture thinking has to do with the Darren Fitzpatrick Bravery Park. We would like to see this become a multi use park for all ages,” states Kristi Francis, HCA chair.

Recently the community association received a very generous donation from Tim Horton’s in the Hart.

“The manager, Robyn, has been extremely supportive

of the work we have done over the years. Tim Horton’s made a very generous donation which enabled us to have two benches, a picnic table, and bin installed at the park. We are so grateful for what they give back to our commu-nity. We are hoping this is the beginning of bigger things and perhaps other businesses are interested in support-ing our efforts in making this park something special for the community.”
