SPOOK THE COOP 2026
A Community Halloween Scavenger Hunt
Get ready to Spook the Coop! Grab your costumes, gather the family, and get ready to explore Coopers Crossing for an evening of Halloween fun!
This year, we’re putting a spooky twist on the scavenger hunt. Participating homes throughout the community will be decked out for Halloween and will each have a secret code for you to discover. At each stop, you’ll find a code key showing which letter matches each number — for example, 6 = L.
Visit the participating homes, collect the numbers you need, and use your code key to crack the mystery phrase. Once you think you’ve figured it out, head back to the CCRA tent at Coopers Crossing Elementary School to submit your answer.
🎁 Solve the mystery phrase and you’ll be entered for your chance to WIN ONE OF FIVE $25.00 Dairy Queen gift cards!
And don’t forget to cast your vote for your favorite decorated home — the top 3 homes will win prizes and, of course, bragging rights for the best Halloween haunt in the Coop!
🎃 Saturday, October 24th ⏰ 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM 📍 CCRA Tent out front of Coopers Crossing Elementary School
Costumes are encouraged, and the hunt is fun for all ages!

Once you’re back from exploring the neighbourhood, stick around for even more fun!

Notice to Residents – Future Annual Fee Adjustments
The CCRA Board has issued a letter to residents outlining a new approach to annual Residents’ Association fee increases beginning in 2027. Based on feedback received at the 2026 AGM, the Board will move toward smaller, predictable annual increases tied to the Calgary Consumer Price Index (CPI), as already permitted under the Encumbrance registered on all Cooper’s Crossing properties.
Residents also approved a modest annual fee increase at the AGM for 2027, resulting in annual fees of $99.00 for Park/Green Space homes and $74.50 for Non-Park/Non-Green Space homes.
The Board believes this approach will help avoid larger periodic fee increases while supporting the long-term maintenance, beautification, amenities, events, and overall quality residents expect in Cooper’s Crossing. Even with the adjustments, CCRA fees remain among the lowest HOA-style fees in Airdrie and Calgary.

Welcome to Coopers Crossing Resident's Association
The Cooper’s Crossing Resident’s Association (CCRA) is a community-run, non-profit organization responsible for maintaining and enhancing green spaces in Cooper’s Crossing. The CCRA is managed by residents of Cooper’s Crossing who volunteer their time and talents for the betterment of the community.
Did you know? Cooper’s Crossing was built with more parks and pathways than most communities in Airdrie. That’s one of the reasons why people want to live here. The Cooper’s Crossing Resident’s Association (CCRA) helps maintain the additional park space, as well as the stone flower beds and planters in the road medians and other landscaping amenities, above the basic budget provided by The City of Airdrie Parks. During winter months, the CCRA manages the holiday light displays as well as winter arrangements. On occasion, the CCRA hosts special events to bring the community together.
The CCRA was established by Westmark Holdings Ltd. (Westmark), the developer of Cooper’s Crossing. It was incorporated under the Companies Act of the Province of Alberta as a non-profit corporation with its Memorandum of Association duly filed with the Registrar General on November 30, 1999. In 2016, the CCRA was turned over to the residents of Cooper’s Crossing. A Board of Directors was formed by residents of Cooper’s Crossing who stepped forward to volunteer their time and talents to administer and carry out the CCRA’s mandate of maintaining the green spaces of the community and certain amenities.
Get Involved – Join the Board or Volunteer
The CCRA is looking for engaged community members to join our Board or volunteer. The Board meets monthly—typically the second Tuesday at 7:00 PM, either by Zoom or occasionally in person.
If you’re interested in contributing to your community, please email president@cooperscrossingresidents.com. We’d love to hear from you!
