If you are planning any changes to the exterior of your home, including repainting, fencing, the addition of awnings, pergolas, etc., or landscape changes, please download, complete and submit the Homesite Alteration Request from mysunrivers.com/forms . Community and neighbourhood approval is required for any planned changes.

COMMUNITY ISSUES

Vistor Parking: Do you have visitors coming and need to use visitor parking for more than 48 hours? Contact the office with the vehicle description, licence number and dates of stay and we will make note and not tag the vehicle.

Speeding: The speed reader has been moved to various locations. Over half of vehicles are travelling above the 30 km/h speed limit within Sun Rivers. About 15% are well in excess of the limit. With more and more children residing in Sun Rivers, we ask all residents to observe the speed limits. PLEASE SLOW DOWN!

Dogs: An ongoing issue is dog owners not cleaning up after their pets. The Community provides doggie bag dispensers and garbage cans throughout the Community. Please abide by the Community Rules and the Tk'emlups te Secwepemc Bylaws and clean up after your dogs! A small minority of owners affect the reputation of many.
