This Week’s NewsOutdoor RinksAll City outdoor rinks are now open with the exception of the secondary grass rink that is being built at the Knights of Columbus Park. The lights will be on from 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. nightly. Outdoor rinks are located at Weinmaster, Heritage Heights, and Knights of Columbus Parks. There is also a smaller rink located at Silver Heights Park that has no lights and no boards. Tables and garbage cans have been placed at Roslyn Hill (Rodney Ridge) for the tobogganers and sliders.

Snow removalSnow from personal driveways and businesses is not to be pushed onto City streets, city properties or drainage ditches. Excessive snow and ice in drainage ditches will hamper drainage in the spring and promote flooding.

Please adhere to the parking bylaw notices posted so that our Public Works department can effectively and efficiently clear snow from our roadways.

Emergency VehiclesVehicles should keep right when emergency vehicles are approaching from the rear, and during winter weather when traction is not the best please give extra caution when train warning lights are flashing.
