Winter Message

Winter Message

– 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 the Snow Clearing Contractor assumes no responsibility for damaged garbage boxes and structures due to snow clearing.

– Please reduce your 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.

– 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.

Come on Roddickton-Bide Arm residents, lets post those pictures and show others we are an active community!

Message from Recreation NL

The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting chillier, but everyone can still stay active through these months!

Recreation NL is proud to introduce our six week Find You Fit Social Media Campaign:

Find Your Fall Fit!

Over the next six weeks we want, with your help, to encourage the people of Newfoundland and Labrador to stay active. We want to inspire people to find their individual fit with posts of activities that everyone can participate in!

This campaign is taking place across Recreation NL’s Facebook and Twitter, using the hashtag #findyourfallfit. We’re encouraging all residents from every corner of the province to take photos of themselves being active to be entered to win weekly prizes!

Each week we will be awarding prizes

• Individual prizes for photos of individuals

• Buddy prizes for a photo of a pair being active together

• A group prize for an organization, group or company taking part in the fun.

These weekly prizes will be selected at random.

So spread the word, get involved. This is week one, so there is no time like the present to encourage your community or group to #findyourfallfit!

For more detailed information, keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter, and visit our website: Find Your Fall Fit. To find ideas, visit our resources page.
