HPCA Email List and Website: Are you new to Highland Park? Make sure you are on our email contact list. We don’t send out a lot of emails but when we do, it’s about important stuff going on in the community that may not have made it into the newsletter before the deadline. Sign up via our website: hpca.ca/join-email. While you are there, have a look at the ‘Community Connections’ section for information on events, programs, and ways to connect with neighbours to get involved with the community.
