Emergency Preparedness Week |
Is your family prepared?
National Emergency Preparedness Week is a yearly campaign to encourage Canadians to prepare for disasters and emergencies. Disasters and emergencies can happen anytime and anywhere. If one happened today, do you have a plan in place? When a disaster occurs, it can take up to 3 days for emergency responders to reach you while they deal with the response and the most critically injured. Who depends on you for 72 hours to stay safe? Prepare your family for a disaster in 3 steps:- Know the risks in your region
- Make a family emergency plan and practice it
- Prepare an emergency kit for your home and vehicle
Learn more about preparing an emergency kit with the necessary items to survive for a 72 hour period, and find out how to prepare for tornadoes, wildfires and flooding by visiting the Government of Alberta’s Emergency Management Agency website. http://www.aema.alberta.ca |

The Bingham Crossing Public Hearing date has been moved from July 24, 2012 to September 11, 2012. After the County set the public hearing date for July 24th, Bingham circulated the date to over 370 neighbours. They received a few emails from people who were concerned that residents would be away during the summer months and would not be able to participate in the proceedings. In light of this information and Bingham’s desire to be good neighbours, they requested that the County change the date to early Fall to accommodate those who may be away during this period. They have recently been told the new date will be September 11. In the interim, please continue to keep in touch via their website, email or phone with any comments or questions. Bingham will continue to keep the website up to date with latest events. |

Rocky View County will be starting its annual spring road sweeping program soon and is looking for local areas to distribute excess gravel.
Gravel can be used for personal driveways, landscaping, etc… This gravel will be provided free of charge and amounts will be determined by quantity of gravel removed from the roads and the number of ratepayer requests.
Those residents who choose to take gravel must live within the area being swept in order to reduce travel time for the equipment. Residents will be responsible for spreading the gravel once it has been delivered.
Please contact the Road Maintenance Call Centre at 403-520-6378 for more information. |
