What is the difference between CECA and ERA?
Do you have questions about the Calgary Evergreen Community Association (CECA) and the Evergreen Residents Association (ERA)? Please see the ERA website for further information about the distinction: www.evergreenresidents.ca
What is the difference between CECA and SECA?
There are two community associations in our area with very similar names. The Calgary Evergreen Community Association and the Shawnee-Evergreen Community Association.
The Calgary Evergreen Community Association is the community association that all homes that are in Evergreen but not Evergreen Estates can belong to. All the streets in Calgary Evergreen have 'Ever' in the name but never Evergreen. Hence the names; Everoak, Evermeadow, Everridge, etc. All maps that you may see on the City of Calgary website or Google Maps, group Evergreen and Evergreen Estates together and just call it Evergreen.
Anyone is welcome to purchase a CECA membership, but if you do not live within the Evergreen boundary (excluding Evergreen Estates) you would register for an Associate Membership, which entitles you to all events and programs put on by CECA, but you would not be able to vote at the AGM or sit on the board of directors. (Without special approval)
The Shawnee-Evergreen Community Association is the community association that homes that are in Evergreen Estates, and the community of Shawnee Slopes and Shawnee Park can belong to. Their website address is www.shawnee-evergreen.ca.
If you have any questions regarding this, you can email [email protected]
