BePrepared Tuesday - Building connections, building resilience

In an emergency, the people around you may be the first to help until emergency services arrive. That’s why community connections matter. We all have a role to play in emergency preparedness.

Community is different for everyone and could include neighbours, coworkers, faith groups, sports teams, or people connected through culture, shared interests, or common experiences.

Looking for ways to ? Start with a conversation:
🏘️Meet your neighbours: Wave, say hello, attend neighbourhood events, or join local groups to get to know some people around you.
💬Share your journey: Talk about preparedness with people in your community. Share some of the steps you've taken to be more prepared, what you're working on next, and invite others to share their experiences.
📌Map your community: Use the Community Connection Map to identify people, places, and resources in your community. Knowing your community’s strengths, needs, and resources can help everyone be better prepared before an emergency.

A connected community is a more resilient one. Learn more about how you and your community can build resilience through the Be Prepared program.

📢 Drone Flights Over Pincher Creek – Here's What You Need to Know

You may notice a drone in the sky over town on either Tuesday, September 9 or Wednesday, September 10. ORRSC (Oldman River Regional Services Commission), the planning commission we work with on planning and subdivision matters, will be flying a drone to capture updated aerial photos and video of Pincher Creek.

Why are they doing this?
These images will be used to update our official planning documents, including the Land Use Bylaw and Municipal Development Plan, and may be used in communications and marketing for the Town.

What this is NOT:
This is not surveillance of individual properties. The drone isn't being used to monitor residents or gather information about specific homes or activities. The goal is simply to update our town-wide visual records for planning and communication purposes.

Thanks for your understanding as we work to keep our planning and communication tools current and accurate.

Every Drop Counts, Pincher Creek

🌬️ A Pincher Creek Problem… Wind!
If it’s windy, hold off on watering if you can.

Strong wind means water blows away or evaporates before reaching plant roots. Waiting for calmer conditions helps every drop count. 💧🌱

September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, promote inclusion, and recognize the strength and resilience of people living with spinal cord injuries.

Spinal cord injuries can affect mobility, independence, employment, recreation, and many other aspects of daily life. Creating an inclusive community means thinking about accessibility in our buildings, public spaces, programs, services, and everyday interactions.

This month, we encourage everyone in Pincher Creek to learn more about the experiences of people living with spinal cord injuries and the role we can all play in building a community where everyone can participate, connect, and belong.

💚 Awareness helps create understanding. Understanding helps create inclusion.

🪴🌸Planter boxes are being picked up from Main Street on September 4.

Our crews will be collecting the planters in early September as we shift our focus to getting ready for fall.

We know how much everyone enjoys the pops of colour downtown all summer long — thank you to our Main Street businesses for partnering with us to make it happen, and thank you to the community for your kind comments and support all season! 🌸

We'll see the planters return again next summer. In the meantime, keep an eye out for our fall preparations around town!

Please watch for intermittent traffic delays and travel with caution near workers.
