The City has received a request from the RDEK to comment on proposed changes to Home Based Business Regulations.

Fire and Emergency Services provided clarification from the RCMP regarding calls received from the public to 911 re: impaired drivers. 911 is prepared to receive these type of calls to maintain public safety.

  1. These summaries are so helpful. Thanks for taking the time to do this valuable service for interested citizens.

    It's a pity that the School Board denied the City's request to use the former Muriel Baxter site as an off-leash dog park, as the field has been lying unused for a number of years?

  2. Very disappointed in the School Board's Decision re a dog park on the centrally located Muriel Baxter Grounds. Why not???
    What is standing in the way? This is such a perfect location and would provide such a community building service.
