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 Part 3 of Bylaw #9881 should be repealed immediately or replaced with something more appropriate.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.

We will switch back to biweekly garbage collection over the winter months from January 2 until March 31, 2023.

The City encourages residents to reduce, reuse and recycle to keep their holidays green and put less waste
in their brown carts. Follow our “Naughty” and “Nice” list to make the most of those blue carts and Big Blue Bins.

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.
