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 now $5/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.

More details on EUCCA can be found in the "Organization and Procedural Rules" adopted by the Executive on May 22/2013 and by acclamation at the October 23/2013 General Meeting.
