Notes from City Hall
Snow and Ice Management Plan
Snow removal in the City of Kimberley is conducted according to the Snow & Ice Management Plan.
This plan, which is reviewed annually and incrementally improved, is designed to keep city streets and paths cleared of snow in the most timely and cost effective manner possible. City crews are also currently monitoring and clearing snow piles in anticipation of warmer weather.
– Please move any vehicles parked on the street during snow removal in order to avoid having the vehicle plowed in. This also allows the street to be plowed more effectively and efficiently as well as ensures that catch basins are cleared of snow.
– Please slow down and move over when approaching snow removal equipment. Keep both yourself and the operator safe by being extra cautious as the operators of these large pieces of equipment are not always able to see approaching vehicles.
The city thanks you for your cooperation and patience. More information on snow removal can be found on the city’s website. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected] or 250-427-9660.
Solid Waste Changes
City council adopted a new Solid Waste and Regulations Bylaw on September 28, 2015. The new bylaw requires garbage bags to be set in garbage cans at the curb, and encourages recycling by not allowing recyclable materials to be included in household garbage. Kimberley has been dealing with an urban deer issue and garbage has been an attractant for deer and other wildlife. Using garbage cans will help to keep wildlife out of the garbage. The city thanks all residents for complying with the new regulations. Please visit our website to view the new bylaw.
