WHO WE ARE
The Canyon Alliance keeps neighbors in Upper Rustic Canyon, Lower Rustic Canyon, Upper Santa Monica Canyon, Lower Santa Monica Canyon and Boca informed about what's happening where we live, from breaking safety alerts and storm preparedness to infrastructure projects, community meetings, local businesses, and events.
We started after the fires as a group of residents looking after one another, and with member support we've funded tunnel maintenance, channel and fence repairs, brush clearance and replanting across the canyon. Join us to stay connected, stay prepared, and help care for the place we all call home.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
For one hundred years, The Canyon Alliance and its predecessor organizations have served the five historic neighborhoods of Rustic and Santa Monica Canyons. The Canyon Alliance continues this legacy of community leadership for The Canyon. As a non-profit (501c3) charitable membership organization, we promote the environmental, economic, social, and civic welfare of the entire Canyon community, including its residents, businesses, visitors, and the general public.
In 2025, the Santa Monica Canyon Civic Association changed its name to The Canyon Alliance with a renewed commitment to stewardship of the Canyon and to its long-term resilience in the face of growing environmental threats. The Canyon Alliance is committed to honoring the community’s distinctive history, addressing its current challenges, and strengthening our collective action so that future generations can continue to enjoy a beautiful, historic, resilient, and connected Canyon.
Join The Canyon Alliance to stay informed on canyon news, alerts, and events—and stay connected with your neighbors.
