PLOUGHING SCHEDULE IN ORDER OF PRIORITY 1. 101, 103, 105 and 108 Avenues. These are considered our emergency routes. 2. Main Street and 102 Ave. between 109 and 111 St. These will be wind-rowed. 3. 100, 103, 106, 107, 108, 109, 111, 112, 115, 116 Streets - the hill roads 4. 102, 104, 106, 107, 109 to 113 Avenues 5. Residential areas: Beaver Ridge, Bickell Heights, Dunvegan Park, Burkholder Subdivision, North View Estates, Country View Estates and the remainder of the downtown area. SNOW PILING AND HAULING Wind-rowed snow on Main Street, 102, 103, 104 and 105 Avenues will be hauled after completion of the above priorities, along with 101 and 102 Streets. Wind-rowed snow on 101 Ave. between 109 and 111 St. will be hauled immediately. On streets with no sidewalks, snow will be pushed to one side of the street, then the other, in alternating years. On streets with a sidewalk on one side, snow will be ploughed to the side which has no sidewalk. Streets with sidewalks on both sides will have snow pushed to one side or the other, in which case residents would not be responsible for snow removal on the sidewalks on which snow has been piled. Exceptions are 102 Avenue between 111 and 117 Streets, 105 Avenue and 108 Avenue which will have snow pushed to the north, and 101 Avenue which will have snow pushed to the south. Snow will not be piled where there are power boxes. Time and budget permitting, snow piles will be hauled away from corners to increase visibility for motorists. Snow is removed from driveways as a courtesy to residents. In spring, boulevards effected by snow piles will be swept. In the event of another snowfall in excess of 10 cm during the snow removal process, operations will be interrupted to return to the priority list. In the event of a very large snowfall, snow may be piled on both sides of the street and the removal schedule will be at the discretion of the Director of Public Works or his designate. CURB GRATES, SPRINKLER SYSTEMS, RETAINING WALLS.... The Town will not be responsible for damage done to (but not limited to) retaining walls, sprinkler systems, rubber mats, curb grates or any other items at or near the driveway, curb or boulevard. PUBLIC SAFETY DURING SNOW REMOVAL Drivers and pedestrians are asked to practise extreme caution around the big machines during snow removal. ~Do not drive under or close to the loader bucket. ~When machinery is backing up, keep a safe distance. If you are too close, you are not visible in the mirrors. ~When meeting the grader, be certain you have eye contact with the operator before you pass or overtake. ~When hauling snow, it takes four minutes to fill a truck. Please be patient - when filling is complete the operators will make room for you to pass. ~After the grader has gone by, the loaders are generally 10 to 20 minutes behind the grader, depending on the amount of snow. Again, we ask for your patience. SIDEWALK SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL Pursuant to Bylaw 937/TR/2009 Section 3, property owners are responsible to clear away all snow and ice from sidewalk that is adjacent to their property within 24 hours in commercial areas, and within 48 areas in residential areas. Snow and ice must be removed the entire width of the sidewalk. Absence of the owner from the property does not absolve the owner from this responsibility. Where an owner fails to comply with this Bylaw, the Town may have the sidewalk cleared and any costs incurred will be invoiced to the owner. Failing payment, Council may charge the costs against the land as taxes. Failure to comply with this bylaw constitutes an Offense whereby the owner is liable to a penalty of $100 for each violation

32 Town Utility Bills
Your utility bills are mailed out at the beginning of each month (for the previous month’s consumption). If you have noticed inconsistency in your bills, here’s why: one month you will receive a minimum billing. The alternate month an actual reading is taken and you will be billed the minimum for the previous month plus additional water used for the previous two months. If you live on the south side of 105th Avenue, your water meter will be read January-March-May-July-September-November. If you live on the north side of 105th Avenue, your meter will be read February-April-June-August-October- December. New radio frequency meters have been installed in about 1/3 of the households and businesses. If you have a new meter, the above does not apply. You will receive an accurate monthly bill for actual consumption. After the actual reading, you will be charged the minimum rate (for 7 cubic meters) plus $2.10 per cubic meter over the minimum for residential accounts and $2.70 per cubic meter over the minimum for non-residential accounts. In addition to the consumtption rate for water we have added a consumption rate to our sewer rates. You will be charged a flat rate for the service plus $0.55 per cubic meter of water consumed for resiential and non-residential accounts. Our Capital Replacement fee has gone from a flat monthyly fee to $1.52 per cubic meter or water consumed. If your bill is exceedingly high, check your toilet(s), faucets, humidifiers, icemakers, and outdoor taps for leaks. The current utility bylaw may be viewed online at www.fairview.ca

CanSkate is designed for beginners of all ages. Whether for recreation, hockey, or figure skating, your child will develop skating skills through games, music, creativity, participation, and skill development. Lessons are in a group format and led by an NCCP certified professional coach. Skaters progress at their own rate and coaches use teaching aids, and a wide variety of activities that create a fun environment and promote learning.
Not sure if your child will like it? Attend the first 4 sessions and if they aren’t ready to continue, you will get a full refund (less the skate Canada fee).
STARSkate offers skaters opportunities to develop their skills in ice dance, skating skills, free skate and interpretive skating. Skaters have the option of participating in test days and competitions throughout the season.
