Homeless Camps

Homeless Camps have been spotted in our community. If you spot a homeless camp on City of Edmonton parks or property please call 311 and report the exact location. City staff will attend and try to assist the people living at the camp. If you're not sure if someone is homeless or is acting suspicious call EPS at 780-423-4567.

Home Safety

Do not make yourself an easy target. Do not leave bags of cans or bottles, bikes or anything else in your yard in plain view. Store in sheds, put a lock on your gates, install motion lights and or invest in a home security system. Before you go to bed ensure your car doors and house doors and windows are locked. Do not leave change, valuables or garage door openers in your vehicle.

Personal Safety

Now that its getter darker earlier make sure your wearing some reflective clothing when walking or jogging at night. Stay on sidewalks or lighted paths. Try to find a friend or group to walk with. Bring your cell phone with you. Be aware of your surroundings.

Safety Tips

For November 2019, Alberta Traffic Safety Calendar's primary focus is occupant restraints.

The correct use of seat belts, child car seats and booster seats is one of the most important and easiest ways of reducing death and injury from vehicle collisions. One of the offenses I see commonly is drivers wearing shoulder belt under their left arm. With the shoulder belt under your arm your upper body will not be held back in a collision. The fine amount is the same as not wearing your seat belt at $155.00 under the Alberta Vehicle Equipment Regulations.
