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Part 3 of Bylaw #9881 should be repealed immediately or replaced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.
