Hillside Beach Community Association
Building Community for Today and Tomorrow
The Hillside Beach Community Association (HBCA) is a non-profit, community-based organization that works to improve the experience of all residents in the Hillside Beach area. The HBCA provides direction and leadership for development of recreational activities and community spaces, including Charlie Wall Park, while promoting stewardship of the environment. The Hillside Beach Community Association, formerly known as the Hillside Beach Ratepayers Association, had its beginnings in the 1960’s. In 1998, when the Local Government Districts were redefined by the Province of Manitoba, the focus of the Association transitioned from representing the members’ needs to the elected government, to providing opportunities for community engagement, developing spaces for recreation and social connection, and facilitating the flow of important information to community members.
Over the years, the Hillside Beach Community Association has provided opportunities for recreational and social activities through the development of Charlie Wall Park and organizing events that bring the community together. The children’s playground, picnic shelter, basketball court, baseball diamond and soccer pitch have been made possible through the fund-raising and organizing efforts of the HBCA and the generosity of community residents and local businesses.
The HBCA provides many benefits to members of the Association. Please check out our Membership page, and consider joining us!

Is it the RM of Alexander, the Province or the HBCA’s Obligation
The HBCA would like to share with the greater community of Hillside Beach the “general operational” systems related to our community. For many folks who have been property owners since the 1960’s they have seen shifts in responsibility for infrastructure advocacy shift from the Hillside Beach Ratepayers Association (now the Hillside Beach Community Association) to the RM of Alexander. This change occurred in 1998 when the Province of Manitoba created Local Government Districts. Since that time, decisions about infrastructure (road repairs, snow removal etc.) and community enhancements (picnic shelter at the boat launch, application by groups for improvements, etc.) are all under the jurisdiction of the RM of Alexander. It is fortunate that all seasonal and permanent residents of Hillside Beach have the opportunity to participate and vote in the election of Councillor for Ward 1 and Reeve of the RM of Alexander. As our elected representatives each individual property owners voice is important for the decision making at the level of Council. Contact Councillor Corrie Reeve Brisco.
