Urban/Hometown Green Team
HBCA is NOW HIRING Summer Green Team Zebra Mussel Crew Members!
Exciting News from HBCA Mussel Crew!
We’re thrilled to share that we’ve purchased a 2022 New Holland Boomer 50 HP MFWD tractor with floatation tires (to be installed) to support our Zebra Mussel clean-up efforts. This equipment will allow us to operate our Cherrington 800 PT Beach Cleaner, which we purchased at the end of last summer, and use the tractor’s bucket attachment to load ATV trailers with shells. Our HBCA Mussel Crew tractor will help us work smarter and faster for years to come.
This purchase was made possible through a $57,500 grant from the Manitoba government AIS Prevention Fund… READ MORE

Approximately 50% of Hillside Beach property owners purchased a HBCA membership last year - Let’s expand this for 2026/2027!
Over the winter HBCA volunteers developed a new website and will continue to expand the content. You can find the Fall 2025 survey results on the website to see how the community responded. Also please follow HBCA on either Instagram or Facebook for the most up-to-date local news and announcements.
The Winter Watch Committee has a dedicated new group of volunteers this year. Each of them has a route they walk (or drive) to look at properties from the street for any suspicious activity, downed trees on homes, or other unusual occurrences. On behalf of all HBCA members, we would like to thank them all for their time to making our community a safer place.
Our Mission…
to build community by providing a forum for sharing information, connecting neighbors, promoting activities, and fostering stewardship for the environment.
Our Priorities
Foster strong community connections through events and shared community spaces.
Enhance recreational amenities to encourage physical activity and social engagement, including continued trail improvements and new trail development.
Support environmental stewardship by implementing sustainable solutions for managing and preventing aquatic invasive species (AIS), and by promoting year-round responsible practices such as cleaning sand toys, boats, paddleboards, fishing augers, and other equipment.
Advance accessibility and inclusivity to ensure equitable access for all community members.
Fall 2025 Annual HBCA Survey Summary!
Read the full summary of the HBCA 2025 Fall Survey. The community survey included many questions about amenities or issues that fall under the authority of the RM of Alexander, Manitoba Hydro, and Manitoba Highways. These items were intentionally included so the HBCA volunteer Board of Directors can better understand community preferences and priorities and communicate these findings when advocating on behalf of Hillside Beach residents.
While the HBCA will continue to share and support the community’s concerns with the RM of Alexander, all residents are also encouraged to voice their individual opinions directly to the RM of Alexander as taxpayers in the area.
“Our community VOLUNTEERS are what make things happen!”
Off-Season Community Watch
Various Volunteers patrol our streets during the off-season and will report to the Winter Watch Chair, Kelli Paskaruk, if they noticed broken doors/windows, unusual activity, trees on power lines or on buildings. We only view from the street. We can only notify members if we see suspicious activities or damaged property. We have no means to contact non-members.
