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.
Childcare Programming and Facilities Gap Analysis
The city is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to help provide analysis of the current childcare programming needs and gaps in available childcare facilities in Kimberley. As Kimberley’s population continues to grow, many of the young families moving to the area are in need of some form of childcare. We are working to understand those needs and get a clear picture of the options that are currently available. The analysis will also provide an action plan for moving forward. The city looks forward to sharing the results with the community upon completion of the project.
Proposals are being accepted up to 4 p.m. on August 12 at City Hall. The full proposal can be found here.
