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.

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!

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.

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.
