The warmer weather is finally here!  What better time than now to get outside and enjoy what your local conservation areas have to offer.

Start off the camping season early at Valens, open now for spring camping. Enjoy a hike on some of HCA's many kilometres of trails.  Play a round of disc golf at Christie Lake.  Visit our events page for more information on all the HCA's upcoming events.

Want to learn more about your local conservation areas? Check out their pages for more information. They feature photo galleries, brochures, maps and general information about each conservation area. You can also take a virtual tour of Christie Lake, Valens, Wild Waterworks and Westfield Heritage Village.

What's happening at the HCA...

Wild Waterworks offers a perfect place to spend a summer day. Ride the four tube slides: Night Rider and Blue Demon and Vertigo and Sidewinder, new in 2008. Move on and surf the waves in Canada's largest outdoor wave pool. The fun continues with the heart-pounding twists of the Corkscrew and the Kamikaze - the park's six-storey body slides revamped in 2008. Toddlers will love Little Squirt Works, a fun wading pool with computer-controlled sprays, mists and fountains. Wild Waterworks is now open on weekends and will open on weekdays on June 15.  Click here for hours of operation, prices and more information.
