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 enhanced our landscaped areas. Additionally, we have partnered with the City of Edmonton, Edmonton Police Services, and EPCOR to continue improving neighborhood safety.​

On September 15th, TGHA hosted a successful community event at the gazebo, featuring live music, a food truck, complimentary desserts, and a wonderful opportunity for neighbors to connect. Refer to the AGM presentation for more information.

We celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Terwillegar Gardens Homeowner Association’s dedicated services and the 25th year of our community! Reflecting on the strides made over the past two decades, we reviewed our financial status and charted a course for the upcoming years. For a comprehensive overview, refer to the AGM presentation.

Over the past quarter-century, we have worked together to uphold the standards that make our neighborhood a desirable place to live. From maintaining common areas, garden planters, and fences to organizing community events and replacing water features, your contributions have played a vital role in preserving our shared property values and enhancing our quality of life. Thank you for your amazing support! 

With help from the federal and municipal governments, we planted more than 300 free trees throughout our neighbourhood as part of the national 2 Billion Trees initiative! Also, we held a well-attended, fun community event involving neighbours, sunshine, games, live music and food trucks on August 18 at the gazebo. It was so successful we have been asked to do it every year! For more information on these accomplishments, the refurbishment of shrubs, rocks and mulch along 16 common sidewalks, and the new stream pump, check out the letter sent with your dues in March 2023 or the AGM 2022 presentation. 

We repainted all of the shared wooden fences, about 12,850 linear feet of them, within Terwillegar Greens and Terwillegar Gardens in 2021. Neighbours expressed their appreciation and support for successfully maintaining these fences on a 5 to 7-year cycle which included replacing rotting posts, repairing and cleaning boards, and repainting them to look fantastic along our roads and common sidewalks. The project was completed on time and within the approved budget. 

For more information, please check out the AGM 2021 presentation and minutes.

During 2020, beautiful gardens were planted by TGHA’s horticultural enthusiasts, fountains were repaired, a new landscaping and maintenance crew was hired, garbage cans and benches were repainted, dog litter bag dispensers were installed, and 10 large planters were installed even as we experienced an unprecedented shift in the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you to all those homeowners who reached out to express their appreciation for the improvements and continued to volunteer.

To comply with Ministerial Order 09/2020 and help ensure residents remained healthy and safe, Annual General Meeting 2020 was cancelled. Information usually provided during the meeting is available here in the Highlights 2020 presentation. Visit the AGM page or contact the Administrator@TGHA.ca at any time should additional information be required.

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 next few years to help maintain and improve our common areas and features that are now 15 years old. In addition to 10-year planning, the TGHA installed a new electrical system to support our two fountains and a new aeration system which will help control algae build-up in our pond starting in 2019.  

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 at a reduced rate subsidized by TELUS.

Taylor Greens residents asked and TGHA delivered! As part of the third phase of landscaping in the neighbourhood, the entrance between Taylor Close and the park was refurbished with beautiful yet hardy trees, shrubs and perennial plants and colourful feature stones that complement landscaping around the gazebo, pond and stream. TGHA also fixed the lighting and improved foliage at the Tegler Gate and Tory Gate entrances then replaced dead shrubs throughout the neighbourhood.
