🚶‍♂️ Pedestrian safety reminder 🚶‍♀️

🔴 Always watch for pedestrians at crosswalks and be prepared to stop.
🔴 Pedestrians have the right-of-way. Drivers must remain stopped until the pedestrian has completely crossed from curb to curb.
🔴 Never pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk. This is dangerous and can result in fines and demerit points.
🔴 When stopping, leave enough space so pedestrians are visible to drivers in other lanes.

Let's work together to keep our roads safe for everyone! 🛑🚸

September 11, 2001

Twenty-five years ago, the world stood still as unimaginable tragedy unfolded. Terrorists hijacked four airplanes and carried out attacks that claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 innocent people. Families were forever changed, communities were devastated, and a nation mourned.

In the face of fear and uncertainty, hundreds of first responders answered the call without hesitation. They ran toward danger, putting the lives of others before their own. Their courage, selflessness, and unwavering commitment to serving others became a lasting symbol of hope amid heartbreak.

Today, we remember the 411 first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice:

🚒 343 New York City Firefighters
👮 23 New York City Police Officers
👮 37 Port Authority Police Officers
🚑 8 EMS Providers

As we mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, we honor their bravery, remember those who lost their lives, and keep their families, friends, and loved ones in our thoughts.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. Their legacy of courage will continue to inspire generations to come.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. ❤️🚒🚑👮‍♂️

Thinking about buying an electric dirt bike for yourself, your child or a friend? Here’s what you need to know.

Even though high-powered e-dirt bikes are sold legally in stores and online - they are NOT legal to use on any public road, sidewalk, or pathway in Spruce Grove. That’s because they’re considered Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs) under the Alberta Traffic Safety Act.

What puts them in that category?

❌ No functional pedals - they're powered only by the electric motor
❌ The motor is capable of producing over 500 watts of power
❌ They can travel at speeds above 32 km/h with motor assistance

The Alberta Traffic Safety Act sets the rules for e-scooters, e-bikes, and OHVs, with enforcement handled locally by the City and Parkland RCMP.

These bikes can ONLY be used on private property or Crown land. They cannot be used on any street, sidewalk, park, or trail in Spruce Grove.

📣 Parents and teens: know before you buy. Make sure your kids understand where these devices can and can't be used. Share this info to help others stay informed.

Going to university or college is an exciting time for students and their parents. Living in a new “home away from home” not only gives young adults more freedom to make their own choices, but it also provides them an increased level of personal responsibility while at school. When it comes to on- and off-campus housing, it’s important for students and parents to keep fire safety top of mind. 🎒🎓✏️

Planning for emergencies means planning for everyone in your household, including pets. Consider your pets’ unique needs so you have the information, contacts, and supplies you need to care for them during an emergency.

🐶 Make an emergency contact list: Include pet-friendly hotels, kennels and loved ones who could help you provide a safe place for your pet to stay in an emergency.
🐶 Complete a pet profile card: Create a profile for each of your pets with important information, including vaccination records, medications and tattoo, microchip or license number(s). Store digital and physical copies for easier access.
🐶 Build a pet emergency kit: Gather supplies like food, medications, and other supplies your pet(s) may need. If space in your home is limited, make a grab-and-go list instead.

Whether your pet has fur, feathers, scales, or claws, make sure they’re included in your emergency plan.
