Notes from City Hall
Mark Creek Water Level
Be advised that water levels can change rapidly, and are especially high during spring run-off. Flows are extremely fast when water levels are high and present an extreme danger to anyone, including pets, if they fall into the creek. The City of Kimberley has received two reports of pets being swept away in the fast running water. Please stay clear of the creek during periods of high flow.
Arena Ice Allocation Meeting
All organizations/groups requesting to utilize the City of Kimberley Civic Centre and/or Marysville Arena’s ice for the 2017-2018 season are to attend the ice allocation meeting. This will be held on Wednesday, June 14 at 6 p.m. at Centennial Centre. If you have any questions, please call the Operations Desk at 250-427- 9660 or email to [email protected].

Off Leash Areas
Did you know that Kimberley has three off-leash areas to exercise your animal? The Kimberley Nature Park, Lois Creek Trails and the Marysville Flats are all designated off-leash spaces. Maintaining control and cleaning up after your animal still applies in these three off-leash areas. If you are walking your pet in any other city park or playfield area, please remember that your animal must be on a leash at all times.

Unsightly Premises Bylaw
Under this bylaw, no owner or occupier of a property within the City of Kimberley shall permit or allow their property to become, or remain, untidy or unsightly. Every owner or occupier of property shall remove any accumulations of filth, discarded materials, rubbish, brush or other growth cuttings of any kind. The city may, by its employees or contractors, enter the property and affect the removal of the offending material at the expense of the person defaulting. Please see the ‘City of Kimberley Unsightly Premises Bylaw No. 1872, 1995’ at www.kimberley.ca/city/bylaws .
Pets and Hot Weather
With the weather warming up, the Bylaw officer would like to remind people not to leave your pets in vehicles. Animals confined in an unventilated vehicle can quickly succumb to the high temperatures and die of heat stroke. Please leave your animals at home where they will be more comfortable. The MTI Bylaw 2540, Animal Control Schedule Section 10, allows for a $150 fine for animals left in an enclosed space unventilated vehicle. Let’s keep our dogs safe this summer!
