Parks | The Zwick's Park dog park will be closed tomorrow (July 21) from 7 to 10:30 a.m. for maintenance. The park will reopen as soon as the work is completed. Thank you for your patience.
Parks | Can't believe we have to say this, but... please do not ride your bike through the floral Canadian flag. ❌🚲
As you can see, apparently this reminder is necessary. 🤦 Our parks team works hard to plant and maintain the flower gardens across the city for everyone to enjoy. Please admire the flowers, snap a photo, but stick to riding your bicycle on the paths.
Thanks for helping us take care of the spaces we all enjoy! 🇨🇦
