Building for our Future! (2024)
In 2024, homeowner dues were increased to address inflation and to fund the repair, maintenance, or replacement of our aging shared assets. Specifically, most of these funds have been allocated to the upcoming painting project. Through collaborations with a contracted landscaping company, a horticultural firm, and the City of Edmonton, TGHA has effectively maintained and […]

What do paint, plants and science have in common? (2019)
They were all used to beautify our neighbourhood in 2019 and keep it healthy! Environmentally-friendly cleaning solutions and rust-proof black paint recommended by Epcor and the City of Edmonton, were applied to sign posts, sidewalk gates and electrical boxes throughout our community. With support from a horticulturalist and voting members, soils were tested and new annuals […]
TGHA 10-Year Planning and Electrical System (2018)
In 2018, TGHA Board members developed a longer-term 10-year plan to help ensure the shorter 3-year plans on which we vote every year, were actually helping us achieve our desired vision of being one of the most desirable place in which to live within the city. The plan also highlighted our values, focal areas and budget available over the […]
TGHA Homeowner’s Event and Guide (2017)
In order to rebuild the reserve fund this year, homeowner’s voted in 2016 to spend time and effort on less expensive, yet valuable activities such as homeowner communications in 2017. In response, TGHA developed the TGHA Guide which offers residents information about our community, architectural guidelines, bylaws, and available city services. This guide was distributed to all TGHA homeowners in March 2017 […]

TGHA also fixed the lighting and improved […]
