‍ Shell Yeah, Let’s Clean the Beach!

We are pleased to announce that Hillside Beach Community Association is receiving a $48,500 grant from the Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Prevention Fund through the Manitoba government. These funds will be used to purchase two, four-wheel winch style trailers in June and we are sourcing a machine that will be used to grind the zebra mussel shells to sand sized particles on-site. These resources will help reduce the physical demands on volunteers while improving overall efficiency. READ MORE‍

There are people wearing yellow shirts gathered on the beach, engaged in cleanup activities. The poster includes text encouraging beach cleanup to prevent the spread of pollution, and mentions that HBCA purchased new equipment.

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

Our Priorities

Charlie Wall Park in Hillside Beach with playground, picnic shelter, soccer fields, basketball court, baseball diamond.
Zebra Mussel Clean-up on Hillside Beach. Many volunteers known as the Mussel Crew showed up to help with personal ATVs, trailers, and muscle.
New accessible washroom at Charlie Wall Park in Hillside Beach. Open seasonally for all.
All HBCA events include the poplar cotton candy making machine. It is sure to bring smiles to anyone holding it.

  • 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.

Our community trails are adopted by volunteers who maintain them. This one is located in a wooded area at end of Hillside Point Rd near the boat launch with a sign that reads 'Nature Path'.

Fall 2025 Annual HBCA Survey Summary!

Annual HBCA survey results.

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.
