You and your neighbours can be part of building a strong, safe community right where you live. Planning a street party is a great way to connect with people you may see every day but only seldom talk to. This summer, I want to encourage you to get out there and socialize with your neighbours! Sometimes called “Neighbourhood Block Parties,” these events are sim- ply community events for you and your neighbours that take place right on your own street or in a nearby park. I’ve seen great success through these events, where you extend your circle of friends and acqain- tances, meet and connect with people of all walks of Water for Young life and, as an added bonus, you actually make your street safer!

Contractors working for the City will attend each location over the summer filling the bags up as needed. The number of fills will be related directly to the weather. Last year, residents called the City asking to fill the bags themselves especially in hot, dry conditions to help the tree. So this year, willing residents who have a TreeGator installed on their City tree, can help out by watering if they would like to. When the bags are installed, residents will receive a door hanger explaining what the bag is and how they can help.

Pets On Leash

As dog owners, we need to set a good example by being courteous and abiding by our Animal Care and Control By-law. By leashing, licensing and picking up after our dogs, we will make our communities safer places to walk, cycle and play in. Dogs must be leashed whenever they are not at home, such as in public places, including City parks. Your dog’s leash should not exceed 1.8 metres (6 feet) in length. A leash keeps your dog safe from dangers such as: • Getting lost • Unfriendly dogs and wildlife such as coyotes • Coming into contact with dead/diseased wild- life • Eating things like poison, animal poop or drink- ing from contaminated puddles • Running into traffic or getting hit by a car A leash benefits you, your dog and the community by: • Preventing your dog from scaring or jumping Congratulations to the Lisgar Residents Association on on children, other people or pets hosting a wonderful community event in late May.
