Who We Are
At Home in Highlands is a grassroots initiative started by neighbours in the Highlands community in Edmonton, Alberta.
We envision a neighbourhood that values inclusivity, diversity and hospitality. We believe that everyone is welcome in our neighbourhood, including those overcoming and emerging out of challenging life circumstances. We know that connection is vital to creating a community that thrives, grows stronger, more resilient, and more self-sufficient.
Potluck Sharing Circle
Join us for a potluck the first Monday of every month at the Highlands Community League. We share food and connect over conversation.
What We’re Up To
In addition to our monthly potlucks, we often have other gatherings on the go. Join us and get to know your neighbours.
We are “neighbouring with people who’s futures we can enhance.”

Sometimes Asked Questions
Why are you partnering with Recovery Acres?
Recovery Acres, a core partner of At Home in Highlands, operates a residential treatment centre located in Highlands, plus five transitional (sober living) houses located nearby.
One of the goals of At Home in Highlands is to have adequate housing, community connection and supports to allow for ‘graduates’ of Recovery Acres to make their homes in Highlands.
You’re spending all this time volunteering on this. What do you gain?
We gain relationships and connection. We gain a thriving neighbourhood that is welcoming to everyone.
Are you trying to get subsidized housing in Highlands?
We believe that neighbourhoods thrive when there are many options in housing available. While we aren’t specifically advocating for subsidized housing, we do believe that adequate, affordable, diverse, and plentiful housing options is key for a neighbourhood to thrive.
I’m interested in getting involved. What’s required?
At Home in Highlands is a core group of neighbours with common values and vision. We meet regularly to chat and discuss what needs doing. We invite all to join us in conversation and see what commonalities we share. Interested in joining us? Contact us here.
