Dear Ward 4 Residents,
Emergency Preparedness Week is May 5 to 11, 2024! Emergencies can occur unexpectedly, and being prepared beforehand is essential for your safety, your family’s, and your community’s well-being.
Throughout this crucial week and beyond, it’s crucial for Calgarians to prepare for emergencies by understanding local hazards, staying informed with alerts, and creating an emergency action plan. Download our plan at ca/getready.
Building a strong community network is equally important. Establish connections with neighbours, coworkers, and friends to enhance safety measures during crisis.
For comprehensive guidance on emergency preparedness and details regarding community events during Emergency Preparedness Week, visit calgary.ca/getready.
Celebrate Neighbour Day 2024 on Saturday, June 15, and join in fostering stronger community bonds! This year, we invite you to take part by organizing a block party with your neighbours. The good news is, obtaining permits for block parties and greenspaces is absolutely free for Neighbour Day. Make sure to apply for your permits by May 31, 2024, through calgary.ca/NeighbourDay. As an added bonus, consider inviting esteemed guests like the Mayor, your local councillor, or even arranging for a visit from a police officer or a fire truck to drop by your event. Plus, there’s an opportunity to win fantastic prizes, including the chance to enjoy 30 minutes of live musical entertainment at your block party.
Neighbour Day fosters community connections, enhancing neighbourhoods where neighbours support each other. Share your Neighbour Day experiences on social media with #YYCNeighbourDay and explore calgary.ca/NeighbourDay for details.
Thank you all for your attention.
Best,
Councillor Sean Chu
