Edna Topp Park
Light timers are being added to the Edna Topp Park at the skating rink, so the lights are automatically shut off after 10:00pm. They may also be programmed to operate by button, so they do not come on unless the skating rink is in use.
Garbage Pick Up
Staff have noted garbage bylaw violations seem to be increasing, including improper containers and over bags limits. Staff will be noting all violating addresses, and letters will be sent out to residents detailing their violation and asking for a remedy within a 30 day time period. Once this time period expires, should the violation continue, garbage will be pink tagged and not picked up.
Garbage collections times: 7:30am – Noon on Wednesdays. Please have all garbage out prior to this time; otherwise it may not be collected. Reminder there is a 5 bag limit and all household garbage must be bagged in full size green or black garbage bags and contained in a weather proof and animal proof containers.
