Meeting Schedule
The Regular Meeting of Kimberley City Council will be held on Tuesday, February 10 at 7 p.m. A Committee of the Whole Meeting to discuss grants to organizations will be held on Thursday, February 12 at 7 p.m.
Industry attraction
An important part of the city’s economic development strategy is to engage six to eight business people from the community that have the knowledge and experience needed to help develop an industry attraction plan.
This is a creative committee, not a bureaucratic committee. The function of this group is that of a ‘think tank’ – and the goal is to generate ideas for industrial development, the best of which will be passed to the city’s Economic Development Officer for detailed diligence and action.
Please express your interest in participating in this volunteer opportunity by sending a short summary of experience before February 27 to: [email protected].
New No-Parking Zone
Please observe the new no-parking regulations and signage on the 100-block of Wallinger Avenue (in front of the recently-cleared Bavarian Esso lot). The purpose of this no-parking zone is to allow large trucks delivering to Platzl businesses ample room to turn into the laneway. Two parking stalls nearest Spokane Street will remain. There is plenty of parking at the lot across Wallinger and at the parking lot next to Centre 64.
Garbage reminder
Garbage pick-up begins at 7:30 a.m. and garbage must not be set out before 5 a.m., as unattended garbage attracts bears and other wildlife. If you choose to put out your garbage later than 7:30 a.m. and the garbage truck passes earlier than usual, you run the risk of not having your garbage collected that day.
Each household may put out up to two cans or four bags of garbage per week. Garbage cans should be a maximum of 77 litres (20.3 gallons) similar to the Rubbermaid ‘Roughneck’ garbage cans. The maximum weight allowed is 13 kilograms per bag (28.6 lbs). If you use a garbage can, please be advised that all garbage must be in a large plastic garbage bag which is tied closed. Loose garbage will not be collected.
For more details on the garbage collection schedule or garbage can specifications, visit Kimberley.ca/Services/garbage-pickup-schedule or call 250-427-9660.
UV Wastewater Treatment
The city is no longer using Chlorine Gas and Sulphur Dioxide to treat sewage. The wastewater is now being treated with UV rather than chemicals before it is released into the St. Mary River.
