On the agenda

As the city filed it

The COVID-19 pandemic has stressed the importance of being outdoors and getting physical activity while gym facilities are shut down. During this difficult time our parks have become a valuable resource to get sufficient physical activity. The West Gate entrance of Earl Bales Park is a commonly used path by the residents of the Armour Heights community in order to reach the Park. This Motion asks City Staff to provide a plan on clearing and maintaining the path in the winter months, allowing for residents to access the park safely.
