Notes from City Hall
Preventing Melt Water Damage
Spring is around the corner and the snow is melting fast. To prevent damage from melt water, homeowners are encouraged take action to protect their own property. Plan how to divert melt water away from buildings and keep that path clear. Sandbags can help direct water if needed. Residents, with a valid street occupancy permit (no fee), are encouraged to dump snow at the municipal snow dump to reduce the risk of melt water damage. City of Kimberley crews will only be addressing melt water concerns on city property.
Playfield Allocation Meeting
All organizations/groups (baseball, soccer, football, rugby, volleyball, Frisbee, concerts, movies, JulyFest, festivals, events, etc.), requesting to utilize the City of Kimberley play fields in 2017 are to attend the Playfield Allocation Meeting at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 29 at Centennial Centre.

Building Permits & Inspections
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.
