The Government of Alberta is moving back to Step 1 restrictions to protect the health system and reduce the rising spread of COVID-19.

Updated mandatory health measures go into effect at midnight for retail, fitness and performance activities.

As we leave winter behind, it is time to get out and play!

Keep your social distance without being socially distant.

Tennis / Pickle Ball courts are now open to the public.

Mon - Fri | 8:00am until dusk

Sat & Sun | 10:00am until dusk.

Please remember to play it safe!

Every spring streets are swept to remove the sanding material that has been spread on the streets over the winter.

Be sure to stay a safe distance from sweepers, and slow down when passing the sweeper. Sweeping is dusty and can reduce visibility of drivers, the operator, and the public. Your patience and cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Between the months of May and October, weekly collection of yard waste also takes place on your designated collection day!

The Yard Waste Program begins on May 4 - if you are not familiar with the program, please find all relative information here.

Please be aware that the Camp Curious and Aquatic Lesson registration originally scheduled for May 1, 2021 will be postponed.

In response to the Province of Alberta COVID-19 Update 154 on Tuesday, March 6, the Town of Blackfalds will continue to follow the province’s measures.

Please be advised that BOLT capacity is 4 riders only. Masks are mandatory.

Tickets are available for purchase online or at FCSS exclusively due to the other facilities being closed.

This summer, Town Staff will be testing water for lead but will be asking residents' permission before accessing taps.

The purpose of testing is to determine the connection of lead services or household plumbing that may cause the risk of lead contamination.
