DRUG AWARENESS
ADDICTION RESOURCE GUIDE FOR KIDS AND PARENTS
Most people have heard the word "addiction" before.
It's a word used to describe compulsive use of alcohol, drugs,
or even things like video games or social media to a level where
it has a bad impact on the user's life.

Landfill, Yard Waste Depot Hours, Weekly Garbage Collection to
Shift to Summer Schedule
As warmer
weather approaches and signs of spring appear, weekly garbage
collection resumes and the City’s Landfill and Yard Waste Depot
hours expand.
Beginning the week of Monday, April 3,
2023
residents can roll out their brown carts each week on their
collection day. Weekly garbage collection will end with the
City-wide rollout of green Food and Yard Waste
carts
to all homes in late
summer.
Starting
Monday, April 10, the Landfill will operate on its summer
schedule, open from 7
a.m. to 7 p.m.,
Monday to
Sunday.
The entry
gates close 15 minutes prior to closing to allow vehicles to
unload and exit the Landfill by closing time.
The free Yard Waste Depot located near the Landfill will reopen
for the season on Monday, April 10, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.
Residents can drop off leaves, grass clippings, bush and tree
trimmings and other yard waste.
Residents are reminded that plastic garbage bags are not
compostable and yard waste must be removed from plastic bags at
the Yard Waste Depot site. Great alternatives include paper yard
waste bags or reusable containers.
For households participating in the food and yard waste pilot,
green cart service will switch to weekly collection beginning
the week of Monday, April 3; however, brown cart collection will
remain biweekly.

PUBLIC NOTICE
THE NORTHWEST LEISURE CENTRE WILL SHUT
DOWN FOR 6 WEEKS BEGINNING JUNE 12, 2023 |
OVERKILL
The City of Regina recently amended the Clean Property Bylaw
#9881 (click here)
requiring: "Every owner of land adjoining a sidewalk shall
clear the sidewalk of all snow and ice within forty-eight (48)
hours of the time when the snow or ice was formed or deposited
thereon." As a taxpayer, like many taxpayers, it's felt that the
City has overstepped its bounds and stomped on the rights of the
homeowners. We have snow, that's a given, and for the most part
homeowners do a good job of keeping the City's sidewalks
passable in winter. A case of overzealous enforcement by the
City is the story of an individual with multiple health
impairments, who is trying to stay in his home, but gets hit
with a $424.00 fine. (The
charge was later reversed). Totally
ridiculous. See the story
here. As a Community Association we are against the position
taken by the City and that portion of the Bylaw in question.
Part 3 of Bylaw #9881 should be repealed immediately or replaced
with something more appropriate. Besides there being so many
parts of Part 3 that are completely untenable there is
information provided by the City on their website at
www.regina.ca which is in
direct conflict with the Bylaw. How did that happen?

Note: In reviewing the Canada Post website
here you are cordially
invited to keep property safe for postal workers. I could find
no
threats such as those being made by the City of Regina. |

Signal For Help

|
The
social isolation measures necessitated by the COVID-19
pandemic are making it more difficult for those who are at risk
of
abuse or violence to safely reach out for help. “Signal for
Help” is
a simple one-handed sign someone can use on a video call, from
a window or door or in a public place. It can help a person
silently show they need help and want someone
to check in with them in a safe way or call the police.
