RENOVATION TIME!

La Perle Community Hall News  

Renovations – No rentals until beginning of July.

Due to the renovations, for the safety of the students and your vehicles, the parking lot may be closed or blocked off  due to deliveries and Bobcat use.  If the lot is closed or is obviously in use by the construction people ...

- PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN IT!!

The La Perle Community League Executive is pleased to announce that we applied for and received the Community Facility Enhancement Program Grant from the Government of Alberta.  This grant will allow us to make much needed updates to our community hall and will include repairs to:  floor and wall cracks, floor tile replacement, lighting upgrades, and interior paint.

***Construction began in March.  The community hall will not be available for rentals or programs until JULY 2012.

What are the Dog Gone Rules?   

For health reasons for our rink operators and for the safety of our users of the areas inside the rink boards during the non-winter usage, PLEASE - DO NOT RUN YOUR DOGS in the boarded rink area.       

Are you uncertain what the rules are for walking dogs in the City of Edmonton ?

 The City of Edmonton has very specific rules for dogs set out in the Animal Licensing Bylaw and the Parkland Bylaw. Rules for dogs are in place for the safety of your community and the safety of your pet.

 It’s pretty simple…

          ·In the City of Edmonton, you must license your dog.

          ·You must clean up your pet’s defecation.

          ·You can walk your dog on parkland so long as your dog is:

─                          - leashed and on a trail;

─                          - leashed and on a boulevard;

─                          - leashed and in an area governed by signage permitting dogs (our rink area is off limits).

Outside of designated off-leash areas, dogs must by on a leash at all times.

For everyone’s safety and at all times, dogs must be kept at least 10 metres from any playground, sports field or picnic site. Your dog must be on a leash no longer than 2 metres in length.

 Visit www.edmonton.ca/parks and click on Off Leash Park Sites for more information.           

 

AND>>>>>>  NO GOLFING!! no practicing golf, no golf balls, clubs or usage thereof in the park.
