Parks aren’t dumping grounds. Household garbage does not belong in our green spaces. Leaving bags, furniture, appliances, old paint or other waste in parks harms the environment, creates safety hazards and takes away from spaces everyone should be able to enjoy.

If you illegally dump waste in a park, you could face a fine ranging from $200-$10,000.

Rose bush pruning along Dunbrack Street is scheduled for this season. Although 95 per cent of the rose bushes will remain, sections that pose a safety risk will be removed. Traffic may be impacted during this work. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
