Notes from City Hall
Fuels Management
The Duck Pond and Myrtle Mountain Projects located in the southeast corner of the Kimberley Nature Park will be starting back up this month. Both of these projects were suspended due to the fire hazard ratings this summer. A new project will be starting in the northeast corner of the Nature Park, which is located at Ponderosa Trail and the Lower Army Road. Users are asked to please stay out of the area during tree falling. For more details on these projects please call the Kimberley Fire Department at 250-427-4114 or check the ‘Interface Fire and Ecological Restoration – 2015 Hand Treatments’ link on the Kimberley Nature Park Society webpage.
Mark Creek Flume Update
Copcan is continuing construction on Mark Creek. Rock stack walls are being placed along Deer Park Avenue and concrete wing-walls are being poured upstream of the Wallinger Bridge. There is concrete shoring and earth bolting being done at BJs Restaurant site. Copcan is also working on diverting Kimberley Creek from the worksite.
Construction Update
The roads department crew are continuing work on the Ross Street Storm Sewer Project, as well as ongoing repairs and maintenance in other locations.
To ensure the safety of all concerned, please keep a respectful distance (minimum 90’ / 30 m) from any city crews or contractors, open ditches and heavy equipment. Watch for and obey any signs posted. Thank you for your cooperation.
Neighbours Helping Neighbours
The city asks that you lend a hand to any neighbours you might see needing help around their homes. Some residents do not have the means to get their recycling down to the appropriate bins or their yard waste to the landfill. With the winter season soon approaching, watch for neighbours who might need a little bit of extra help with snow removal.
Wood Burning Appliances
For those using wood burning appliances to heat their homes this fall and winter, the city asks that you familiarize yourself with our Wood Burning Appliance Emissions Control Bylaw. Please visit our website for more information.
