The Kingsland Community Association (KCA) is a neighbourhood-based volunteer organization that provides recreational and social opportunities for Kingsland residents. We also work to address local issues and advocate for community interests with the City of Calgary and operate the Kingsland Community Hall (505 78 Avenue SW) and related facilities such as the outdoor sports rinks.

The KCA is registered as a society under the Alberta Government Societies Act. As a registered society, our membership elects a Board of Directors to govern the organization.

The Board of Directors is made up of a minimum of six and a maximum of twelve elected directors who volunteer their time and efforts to better our community. The Board of Directors and various sub-committees plan, organize, and execute KCA operations.

The Board of Directors includes the Executive - President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer; and Open Directors. Some Open Directors handle specific portfolios like planning & development or social events and their title may reflect that specialization (e.g. Planning & Development Director).

All board members are elected by the KCA membership at the Annual General Meeting. Each board member must hold an active KCA membership.

The Board of Directors meets at 7pm on the fourth Thursday of each month at the Kingsland Community Hall. All meetings are open to the public.

The KCA is always looking for volunteers and you don’t need to sit on the Board of Directors or a sub-committee to be a volunteer! Occasionally we have positions available on the Board of Directors, however, sub-committees like the Communications, Planning & Development, and Social committees also have volunteer opportunities for those who are looking to get involved more regularly. Seasonal/one-off volunteer opportunities are available as well for certain events and initiatives as needed.

Visit our Get Involved page for up-to-date information on our KCA volunteer opportunities, or email us at admin@kingslandcommunity.ca to express your interest in volunteering and we will help find a position that is right for you!

A sub-committee is a group of resident volunteers that work together on some specific area of operations related to the KCA. Each sub-committee includes at least one KCA board member who is responsible for reporting back to the Board at monthly Board meetings.

Sub-committees develop plans and budgets that they present to the Board for approval and then execute Board-approved initiatives. Resident volunteers do not need an active KCA membership to participate in sub-committees.

The KCA has the following sub-committees:

Communications Committee - plans and creates content for KCA social media channels and e-newsletter and maintains the KCA website

Planning & Development Committee - reviews Kingsland development permits against the Kingsland Community Plan and provides input on planning and development matters in our neighbourhood

Social Committee - plans and coordinates KCA annual and special events

Succession Committee - addresses turnover on the Board of Directors by recruiting and onboarding new directors
