Happy New Year to all Ward 4 Residents!

As we kick off 2025, let’s focus on community safety and staying informed. This month, I’d like to highlight two key topics:

Snow and Ice Removal

Winter is here, and snow removal is a shared responsibility. The City of Calgary clears 10% of sidewalks, but property owners must clear sidewalks adjacent to their properties within 24 hours of snowfall ending.

Non-Compliance Process:

• Report unshoveled sidewalks through 3-1-1.

• A peace officer will issue a 24-hour warning if needed.

• If not cleared, a contractor removes the snow, and fines and service fees are charged.

Fines:

• First offence: $250

• Second offence in 12 months: $500

• Third+ offence in 12 months: $750 and court summons

Reminder: Shovel snow onto streets, not from private property into public spaces, and avoid blocking wheeling lanes.

Be a Snow Angel!

Help older adults and those with limited mobility by volunteering to clear sidewalks. Your kindness keeps our community safe.

2025 Property Assessment Notices

Your 2025 Property Assessment Notices reflect your property’s market value as of July 1, 2024, and its condition as of December 31, 2024.

What to Do Next:

• Review your notice for accuracy.

• Log in to Assessment Search at calgary.ca/assessmentsearch to:

o Check property details and update them if necessary.

o Compare your value with similar properties.

o Learn how your property was assessed.
