Ward 8 Update
December 2022 Newsletter

For those celebrating holidays during this time, I wish you a wonderful holiday season.

I wanted to sneak in one more newsletter before the end of the year. In this newsletter there are updates from City Council and specific to Ward 8. These include:

  • changes to black bin schedules,
  • tree protection bylaw,
  • a new Urban Reserve Agreement, and
  • an update on the Downtown Event and Entertainment District. 

I hope you and your family have an opportunity to check out your local rink and cross-country ski trails. If you see volunteers from your Community Association, be sure to thank them for keeping the rink maintained. They've been hard at work ensuring great ice surfaces and public skate times.
