Mosquito Control
Mosquitos need water to complete their life cycle. You can help reduce mosquito populations around your home by following these tips:
- Remove discarded containers from your property;
- Replace water in bird baths and livestock troughs regularly;
- Clean clogged eaves troughs, drain pipes, and ditches;
- Store boats, canoes or other objects so that they do not collect rain water.

Invasive Weeds
The city would like to remind you that the Unsightly Premises Bylaw states: “Every owner and occupier of real property shall clear that property and shall keep it cleared of brush, noxious weeds, wild grass and other untended growths.” Blueweed and knapweed are spreading rapidly throughout the City. Let’s do our part to keep invasive species out of our gardens and the Nature Park. Please see the ‘City of Kimberley Unsightly Premises Bylaw No. 1872, 1995 at www.kimberley.ca/city/bylaws.

Planning a renovation or addition to your home? Dreaming of a new deck or garage? Remember to first obtain a Building Permit before starting your project. The permit and inspection process helps to ensure compliance with health, safety and zoning requirements. Building Permit application forms may be obtained at City Hall or the website. The Building Inspector can help you navigate the application process and discuss the relevant building code and other municipal requirements.
