Fall Leaf Pickup Program

During the fall, the City provides Vacuum Leaf Pickup service to streets that are more than 35 years old and contain many mature large trees. Newer streets with fewer and younger trees are not included in the program. Streets included for Leaf Pickup will receive a direct-mail notice that indicates when leaves will be picked up in that area.

New streets will not be added as the program is currently under review by City staff.

To find out if your street will receive Leaf Pickup check the Leaf Pickup route map on the Fall Leaf Pickup Program website.

LED Street Lights

For your information the LED Street Lighting Conversion Project will continue until December 2015.

Currently, close to 43,000 street lights (out of 50,000 street lights) have been replaced. The City saved 13.1 million kWh of energy over a one year period from July 2014-June 2015 through the use of LED street lights. That is enough energy to power City Hall, Living Art Centre and the Central Library for one year.

Information on Hydro/Gas Scams

I have received several calls lately with regards to hydro/gas scams.

Utility companies have advised that they would never request a payment by pre-paid debit or credit card over the phone and overdue payments would appear on your monthly bill.

If you feel concerned please call the customer service number on your utility bill.

NEVER GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE.

Do no be afraid to ask questions and if you feel pressured, never hesitate to terminate the call or close your door.
