Back to school/crossing guard safety
The kids are back in school and that means roads are busier with traffic and school buses. Let’s keep everyone safe by slowing down and watching for pedestrians crossing roads and in parking lots. Did you know? All vehicles must come to a complete stop when directed to by a school crossing guard displaying a stop sign.
Parks are getting a fun makeover
Exciting changes are coming to some Town parks. At High Castle Park, the playground is getting a full refresh with new, colourful equipment designed for creativity, active play and community fun. The play space will be inclusive and accessible, so everyone can join in.
This fall, Jackson’s Point Parkette will undergo some enhancements to improve the community space encouraging more gatherings and events. Walkways will be redesigned to create an accessible, functional pathway system, all while creating more greenspace. Upgraded lighting and signage will make it an even brighter place to enjoy year-round.
