Edgemont & Upper Capilano Community Association (EUCCA - formerly ECA)
Who, why, what, where..
A non-profit group formed in 1992 by residents of Upper
Capilano who consider Edgemont Village to be their "Town Centre"
and want to play a pro-active role in issues which effect
the liveability of the commercial area and the residential
neigbourhoods.
Our area is bounded on the west by the Capilano River, on the north
by Grouse Mountain, on the east by Mosquito Cr, by the Trans-Canada
highway to the south.
Voluntary membership dues are $10/year per family. Meeting are usually
held on a Wednesday in the Potlatch Rm at the Capilano Library, 3045 Highland Blvd.
Meetings last from 7pm to 9:30pm with a coffee break at about 8pm.
