As of today, 9 people have volunteered to organize a come home year celebration. The numbers are not significant enough to move forward with this event. Approximately 20-25 people are needed. The Town will continue to collect names of anyone who is interested. It will be addressed again when enough volunteers have come forward. Thank You for your understanding.
Regular Council Meeting – Tuesday, February 20, 2018 starting at 7:00 pm at the Green Moose Interpretation Centre.

Stop! Before you flush or drain the sink – Look!
Towels, facecloths, mop heads, paper towels, caps to bottles, toys, baby wipes, and grease when flushed down your toilet and washed down the drain of your sink is causing BIG PROBLEMS for our town waste water/sewer system. Ever notice the big silver boxes with a red light on the top located around Town. This is the Town’s lift stations which are used to pump wastewater or sewage from different parts of Town to the septic tank. When the red light is blinking it means there is trouble in the lift station.
In these stations there are motors that chop up the raw sewage before pumping it through the system. Large cloth-like and plastic items cannot be easily chopped up and often cause problems. These problems can become VERY COSTLY for the Town to repair. Before you flush the toilet or drain your sink please be careful not to wash down large non-biodegradable items in our Town’s septic system.

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.
