October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing awareness, promoting early detection through routine screenings, and supporting ongoing medical research.

Breast cancer impacts millions of individuals and families across the country. Today we honor the strength of survivors, stand with those navigating treatment, remember loved ones lost, and express gratitude to the healthcare professionals providing compassionate care.

Today is Orange Shirt Day, an important time to reflect on the history and legacy of the residential school system, honor the Indigenous children who attended them, and support the survivors and impacted communities.

The movement originated from the story of Phyllis Webstad, whose new orange shirt was taken from her on her first day of school, becoming a symbol of the systematic stripping away of Indigenous culture and identity. Today serves as a reminder that every child matters.

The City stands in solidarity with Indigenous members of our community.

The East Side used oil recycling station is temporarily closed while the tank is cleaned.

Sediment and other contaminants have built up at the bottom of the tank, and our collection contractor will not pump it out until it has been cleaned. We do not have a reopening date yet.

In the meantime, the West Side station at 519 South Oneida Street is open 24 hours a day. Use the entrance on Redwood Drive off of West Mason Street.

When the East Side station at 1820 Mills Street reopens, please remember that it is for used motor oil only. Other fluids and materials do not belong in the tank, and keeping them out helps this service stay available for everyone.

There's still time to share your thoughts on Green Bay overnight on-street parking, but our community survey closes at the end of the day this Wednesday, September 30th.

The City Council requested staff to evaluate the current parking restrictions, which prohibit on-street parking between 3AM and 5AM. We'd appreciate your feedback to help us gather information for the report to the Council. Let us know your preferences on maintaining the ban, making adjustments, or allowing parking through a permit system. Your voice matters in shaping our city policies.
