Hello, Ward 1!
Here are the latest updates from City Hall and on what’s happening in your community.
Drought Update
The drought conditions Calgary has been experiencing may mean that water restrictions will be put in place this month. We ask all Calgarians to observe any water restrictions put into place to protect our ecosystems and drinking water supply. Visit calgary.ca/drought to learn more.
Blanket Rezoning
In April, Council held its Public Hearing on blanket rezoning in Calgary. A big thank you to everyone who participated. Regardless of the outcome, your voices made a difference. You can visit calgary.ca/ward1 to learn about the final result and for more information on what happens next.
Single-Use Items Repeal
The Public Hearing to consider the repeal to the Single Use Items Bylaw will take place on May 7. You are welcome to address Council to submit written feedback. Visit calgary.ca/publichearing to learn more. You can also visit calgary.ca/ward1 for further updates on this issue.
Street Sweeping
Weather permitting, The City begins cleaning winter debris from our streets beginning in April and continuing through May. Sweeping happens Monday through Friday between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. You are required to move vehicles off the street when a sweep is scheduled, or you could be ticketed and towed. Visit calgary.ca/sweep to learn when cleaning is scheduled for your neighbourhood.
Neighbour Day
Neighbour Day is coming up on Saturday, June 15! Consider hosting or visiting a Neighbour Day party for some family fun and a chance to connect with your neighbours. The City has a number of resources for a successful event at calgary.ca/neighbourday.
Waste Collection Reminder
Weekly pickups of green carts resumed for the season on April 23 and will remain in place until the fall. Visit calgary.ca/collection to set up pickup reminders and for important cart placement tips.
