Hello Ward 1!
Summer is almost here. June is Calgary’s highest risk month for flooding as the melting of snow and ice in the mountains accelerates. While the risk of severe flooding in any given year is low, it’s a possibility that we must always prepare for. The City of Calgary is well equipped to respond to flooding with preparation well underway and continuing work being done on further flood mitigation. You can find out more about flood risk and preparations at Calgary.ca/floodinfo.
The City of Calgary hosts a number of day camps for children with programs beginning July 4. Arts, sailing, and outdoor rec camps are all available. Learn more at Calgary.ca/daycamps.
The City has new guidelines for patios on public property in 2022. This popular program began in response to COVID-19 but has become a great contributor to the vibrancy of Calgary streets. The new guidelines make accessibility and pedestrian safety a priority. Details are at Calgary.ca/patios.
Did you know that your property might contain a utility right-of-way? This is a zone on residential properties where utility providers can place their infrastructure, above or below ground. Utility providers are permitted to access this area without necessarily obtaining your permission. You can find out more about rights-of-way on your property at Calgary.ca/ROW.
Transit safety continues to be a high priority issue for our office. Councillor Sharp held meetings with Calgary Transit, City Administration, the Calgary Police Service, and other agencies in May to continue to work on solutions to social disorder issues. We appreciate all of the feedback we have received from Ward 1 residents.
As always, you can get the most up-to-date news from Councillor Sharp at Calgary.ca/Ward1 and by subscribing to our email newsletter. We always welcome your questions and feedback.
