Hello, Ward 1!
As spring settles in, I want to take a moment to update you on communications from the Ward 1 Office. Starting June 1, there will be restrictions on what we can share, including City-funded newsletters, open houses, and mass emails, which will only be permitted in emergency situations. With that in mind, this will be the last community newsletter from our office until the election in October.
As we move into the summer months, I hope you have the chance to enjoy all that this season has to offer, whether it’s spending time outdoors, supporting local businesses, or simply enjoying the company of family and friends. Wishing you all a wonderful and relaxing summer!
Waste and Recycling Collection
As the weather warms up, it’s a great time to check your waste and recycling collection schedule. From April 1 to May 29, Calgary residents can drop off their yard waste for free at City landfills. The yard waste will be composted instead of thrown away, making it easier to keep your garden tidy and reduce landfill waste. Composting food scraps and yard trimmings is a simple way to help the environment and enrich your garden. For guidance on what can go in the Green Cart, visit https://www.calgary.ca/waste/residential/green-cart.html.

Parks and Pathways Maintenance
The City’s Parks Department is busy with regular maintenance of our beautiful parks, pathways, and green spaces. If you see any areas that require attention, such as damaged benches or littering, don’t hesitate to report it through the 3-1-1 service. Ensuring these areas remain safe and clean is a community effort. For more information on park and pathway management, visit https://www.calgary.ca/our-services/parks-maintenance.html or https://www.calgary.ca/our-services/pathway-management.html.
