Notes from City Hall
Aquatic Centre
The Kimberley Aquatic Centre is now open! Please check the City of Kimberley website for scheduling information.
Civic Centre
The Civic Centre’s ice plant was started on August 3 and the Parks Department is currently making the ice for the 2016-17 season. New LED lights have been installed over the ice surface creating a much brighter skating area.
Mandatory Water Restrictions
The City of Kimberley would like to kindly remind all residents that even with the current wet weather we have been experiencing, the Water Shortage Response Bylaw No. 2527, 2015 stage one water restrictions are still in effect and are as follows: ODD number address water on ODD number days, EVEN number address water on EVEN number days, and all watering must be performed between 4 & 10 a.m. or 6 & 10 p.m.
For further information on water restrictions and to receive a free water audit, please contact the Water Smart Ambassador at 250-427-9660 or [email protected]. Thank you for your cooperation.
Solid Waste and Regulations Bylaw No. 2520
Please educate yourself on the rules of our solid waste bylaw. Here are a few keys points to remember:
– Pick-up begins at 7:30 a.m. and garbage must not be set out before 5 a.m. on garbage collection day. Unattended garbage attracts bears and other wildlife.
– Garbage must be set out in cans only. Each household may put out a maximum of two garbage cans. For allowable garbage can specifications, more details on our garbage collection program, please see our website at http://www.kimberley.ca/services/garbage-pickup-schedule.
– No recyclable materials will be collected. All yard and garden waste, paper, cardboard, glass containers, etc. (refer to the websites below for more details) are to be taken to the Kimberley Transfer Station at 800 Jim Ogilvie Way. City crews will not collect your garbage if there is recycling or yard waste mixed in with it.
No unauthorized vehicles in the Platzl
Please be reminded that the Platzl is for pedestrian use only. There is no motor vehicle access permitted unless authorized by the City of Kimberley.
Speed signs
The City of Kimberley is urging motorists to please obey all road speed signs, not only in your local area but all around the city. Please be extra cautious in playground zones and when you see pedestrians.
Building Permits & Inspections
Planning a renovation or addition to your home? Dreaming of a new deck or garage? Remember to first obtain a Building Permit before starting your project. The permit and inspection process helps to ensure compliance with health, safety and zoning requirements.
Building Permit application forms may be obtained at City Hall or the website. The Building Inspector can help you navigate the application process and discuss the relevant building code and other municipal requirements. If you have questions about the permit and inspection process, please contact the Building Inspector at 250-427-9655 or [email protected].
