In preparation for spring operations, city crews are pruning trees in alleys and on streets throughout the city to ensure unimpeded access, efficient operation and safe sightlines at intersections. If you have any areas or locations of concern to report, please call the Operations desk at 250-427-9660.
Fuels Management
The Fuels Management Program has begun again this year. This project is located in the Ponderosa Trail area in the Kimberley Nature Park, above the Overwaitea Hill and off of Burdett Street. This project is actively burning and residents are asked to stay clear of the area during the project. This project was one of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) funded treatment programs that started last year, and is projected to be completed by the end of March. For more information on the project, please contact the Kimberley Fire Department at (250) 427-4114.
Smoke Detectors Save Lives
It is important to place smoke detectors in the right place in your home and to test them regularly to make sure that they work properly. You can minimize your family’s risk of fire-related injury or death by installing the right number of smoke detectors in the proper places in your home, and by keeping them all in good working order. The Kimberley Fire Department asks that you take the time to change your batteries and test your smoke detectors.
Free Downtown Shuttle
The Peak to Platzl downtown shuttle is a free scheduled service between the ski resort base area, the upper-mountain accommodations, and the downtown shops, pubs and restaurants. The shuttle service operates every day (except statutory holidays) until March 26. The shuttle schedule is posted at Kimberley.ca or contact [email protected].
