Spring is just around the corner! Here are some topics and questions we’ve received from residents this past month. For more information or to contact my office directly, visit jasminemian.com.
Q: Any update on the Hanson Ranch Wetlands?
A: You may have noticed that throughout March, crews were out working on the wetland. Although construction is expected to begin in 2024, preliminary work is being done for permitting purposes. Investigate site work and environmental monitoring will continue periodically. Visit calgary.ca/hansonranchwetland for more information.
Keeping Storm Drains Clear This Spring
Storm drains (or catchbasins) are the main way stormwater gets into our underground pipes AKA our stormwater management system, so it’s important we keep them clear! There are about 60,000 storm drains in Calgary which capture water off sidewalks, streets, and roads. The City has an online map that shows where storm drains are located and how to care for them: calgary.ca/stormdrains.
