The Northern Hills Community Association (NHCA) was established in 1998 and is comprised of Coventry Hills, Panorama Hills, Harvest Hills, Country Hills, and Country Hills Village.

These communities are all relatively new residential developments located on the northern edge of Calgary. The current population of these communities is in the order of 50,000 people and is expected to grow to about 60,000 people when completely developed. The population encompasses a wide variety of ethnic and socio-economical backgrounds.

There are several golf courses in the area, as well as numerous restaurants, shopping facilities, theatres, and indoor and outdoor recreation facilities. The area includes commerical and retail business enterprises and light industrial business parks.  The Northern Hills area is home to numerous public and separate elementary, middle, and high schools, and is serviced by police, fire, library, and other City of Calgary support services. It is bounded on the south and west by Beddington Trail, on the north by Stoney Trail, and on the east by Deerfoot Trail.

The NHCA currently maintains an office in Cardel Place. Being the recognized voice for these rapidly developing communities, the NHCA is active in the areas of community planning and development, community advocacy, beautification and enhancement, sports and recreation, and traffic and noise issues.

The NHCA operates the largest community-based youth soccer program in Calgary with some 1200 registered children and also publishes a monthly newsletter that is delivered free to 15,000 residents and businesses in the area.
