Hello summer! Happy Canada Day! As we celebrate our great nation, please be mindful of our ravines and natural spaces as they remain very dry and need our support to keep our community safe from grassfires. If you plan to use fireworks, a permit is required from the City. With our beautiful pathways and our tree-lined streets, many families are taking the opportunity to enjoy them either by biking or strolling. Please be mindful of the increased activity as we see our neighbours enjoying the sunshine. Please remember to obey the posted speed limits.
Have you got your cowboy hat ready? It’s that time of year again when our fabulous KCA cooks up some flapjacks for our annual Stampede Breakfast. To help support the KCA Stampede Breakfast, please consider pre-paying your $20/year community association membership and come on over to the field to chinwag with your neighbours.
With the warmer weather, many families will leave their windows open for fresh air and nature’s air conditioning. Did you know that more than 400 children end up in the emergency department due to falling out of the windows in homes? To help prevent accidents, keep windows out of reach, and move furniture such as cribs, beds, stools, and change tables away from windows. Teach children never to lean against windows or open screens. It takes very little force to push through an open screen. Consider installing window opening control devices. They restrict the window opening to four inches. Another option is a device that is like a baby gate for a window. If you are using safety devices in a bedroom window, an adult must be able to quickly remove or disable these devices in an emergency. Please remember that window screens do not prevent falls.
When out mowing your lawn, please be aware that if your home has developer installed fencing, it is your responsibility to maintain the areas next to these fences. Please include them when mowing or fertilizing your lawn as it only beautifies our whole community!
