AWA’s 50th Birthday & Building Purchase Celebration

AWA is turning 50 and we are buying our home!

Come celebrate two great achievements for the Alberta Wilderness Association!

The Alberta Wilderness Association has been stewards of the Hillhurst Cottage School for almost 40 years and we have made a deal with the City of Calgary to purchase the building.  This is an invitation to save the date June 25^th, 2015 between 3pm and 8pm to come for a walk through the Hillhurst Cottage School, peruse AWA’s Roger Creasey Memorial Library, soak up the historic details and 1910 architecture of the cottage school, meet old friends and new and raise a cup of cheer for the achievements of AWA’s 50 years of endeavour and conservation in Alberta.

It is important to make this building and AWA’s offices a centre for conservation awareness.  What a wonderful tribute and legacy this purchase will mean for AWA and for the importance of saving historic properties as we also take time to reflect and celebrate 50 years as an Association.

You may not have had a chance to support the purchase of Hillhurst Cottage School and this is my personal invitation for you to consider a building fund or anniversary gift to AWA. Please click here to make a secure online gift.

We look forward to seeing you on the 25th of June.
