It’s the season of joy…
A Perfect time to say…

May everyday bring excitement…
May there always be laughter and music…
May your life be full of wonderful treats…
May you suceed in all you do…
And may all your wishes come true!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
On behalf of the Town of Roddickton-Bide Arm Council and Staff, we wish you and your families a safe and wonderful Holiday Season,
Mayor Sheila Fitzgerald
With winter around the corner, we would like to remind residents of some winter details:
– Please reduce speed in winter conditions.
– Take steps to secure your home, such as, cleaning your chimney, checking fire alarms, and planning for power outages and major snow falls.
– Residents are reminded to move roadside garbage boxes and other structures back from side of streets (minimum 20 feet on side streets and 33 feet on main streets. This is approximate measurements). The Town and Snow Clearing Contractor assumes no responsibility for damaged garbage boxes and structures due to snow clearing.
– When winter parking, please move your vehicle off the shoulder of Town streets. Vehicles may be ticketed by the RCMP for parking on the street reservations.
– When removing snow from driveways, please do not deposit on Towns streets; this is against Town regulations and highway regulations. Charges may be laid by the RCMP.

WINTER WASTE COLLECTION
Winter is right around the corner and with that comes snow! It is understood that waste bins will have to be moved back to allow for snow clearing within communities. However, please keep in mind that waste collection is curbside. NorPen’s mandate is to provide a fast and efficient waste collection service and that is only possible with the cooperation of all residents. We are asking for your cooperation in ensuring that your waste is at the curb by 8:00 a.m. on collection day.
