have nothing better to do than to climb up on the roof of the Community Hall.
This is not safe!
It is also trespassing.
In the future, pictures will be taken of any offenders and published in the newsletter. Pictures and names
will also be forwarded to Edmonton Police Service for prosecution.
We are looking for someone to keep our website up-to-date.
No experience needed.

applications are fill-in the blank. Many are on-line

Are you tired of having to close your windows on a warm evening
because of a bad smell in the air? Then call the City at their 24 hour contact line and complain. The more complaints the city
receives, the more likely they are to do something about the problem. Edmonton Waste Management is aware that there is sometimes a problems, but they need your help to pinpoint when the smell is bad and
what is causing it. Let’s work together to rid our neighbourhood of that bad odor coming into the Bannerman Community from
the garbage dump and sewage lagoon across the river.
