Regular Council Meeting January 22nd at 6:30pm Columbia Discovery Centre 8866 Grainger Road Public Welcome!

The agenda for the meeting can be found on our website at www.canalflats.com under the Documents and Forms Tab Please note: Snow removal services are not intended to eliminate all hazardous conditions, but more to assist vehicles that are properly equipped for winter driving conditions and operated in a manner consistent with good winter driving habits and also to assist pedestrians walking with care and attention to winter conditions. To assist with snow removal and in the interest of safety. Public Works is requesting that parking on the boulevards be avoided between the hours of 6am and 4pm. If you must park on the boulevard, please leave enough room for the snow plow to pass. Fire hydrants are not to be buried in snow plowed from driveways and roads. Seconds are critical and the more time spent on scene trying to find and then clear a hydrant can mean life or death. For more information regarding snow removal, 2018 Dog Tags are available for sale at the Village office. All dogs are to be licenced within Canal Flats.

Open $30 Spayed or Neutered $10
