I truly hope that you pick up what is bladed off tomorrow instead of leaving it windrowed in the middle of the street all weekend. My culdesac is listed to get done tomorrow and (from previous years experience) when you leave the pile of snow in the middle of the culdesac it makes it very difficult for people to park let alone try and drive by the parked vehicles. Don’t blade it if you can’t pick up right away.
45 st up past the hospital has had multiple vehicles get stuck the last few days. It’s pretty bad.
The completions are happening quickly and thankfully most people are not parking on the roads being cleared. Looks good out there. Patiently waiting on a few streets but I know it will come with time.
And 48th ave by little lions park.
Still don’t see 44 ave on the list 😞
👍🏼
With the Christmas season upon us, we would like to encourage everyone to celebrate responsibly!
Never drive under the influence of alcohol or cannabis, always use a designated driver or taxi service to get home safely! The RCMP would also like to remind residents that Checkstops will be in full swing over the holiday season. If travelling, give yourself extra time and slow down to accommodate winter road conditions.
Together we can ensure that everyone has a safe and happy holiday season!

Good morning! Crews are working hard to complete snow removal as quickly as possible, and we thank everyone for their patience and cooperation as we clear the roads! Today crews will be completing work in the SW quadrant and will then move into the NE quadrant. Once Priority Routes are cleared, the remaining areas of town are cleared on a rotating basis. We will continue our snow removal updates as we receive info from our crews on the ground! Again, we thank everyone for their patience and ask that you please drive carefully and obey signage when you see crews out working!

On December 3, 2019 Town Council passed an Interim Budget for 2020.
Highlights of this year’s interim budget include strides towards Economic Development in Drayton Valley! The Zero Fee Tuition program, starting at the CETC in January 2020, and the development of a hemp and cannabis industry in our community, are cementing the idea that Drayton Valley is open for business, and setting us up for a strong and diverse economic future!
Full details about the 2020 Interim Budget can be found on our website www.draytonvalley.ca/2020-interim-budget/
SNOW REMOVAL UPDATE:
Public Works crews were very busy clearing our roads today.
Our staff have been focusing on the priority routes as these are the main accesses and collector roads in Drayton Valley and help us move around the community and around the school areas. It's also important to ensure that these roads are cleared first to allow emergency vehicles easy access to the main roads/highways and the hospital if necessary.
We understand that we've received alot of snow in a short period of time and it has made driving in the residential areas a bit tricky; don't worry, we're coming!
The first residential cleaning will start in the SW quadrant; we will keep you informed as to when snow clearing can be expected in your neighbourhood.
WED., DEC. 11
These areas are scheduled to be wind-rowed tomorrow:
RESIDENTIAL SNOW REMOVAL: SW QUADRANT

Good job everyone! I seen a few snow truck removal operator trucks jammed with all the snow during removal and I felt nothing but grateful they were there In the first place. Sooo much snow!!! Good job guys! And ladies!
When will SE be done. We are on 44 ave by the bus hub and we can barely drive on our roads.
42 Ave is awful. It’s getting super difficult to turn into it because the slush is so deep and driving down it to our house is getting much harder
We have a bus on our road every day too and it never gets priority.
It takes time and that’s fine, but please don’t put the no parking signs up more than 24 hours ahead of time please that makes life for a lot of people more difficult than is actually necessary! Some people don’t actually have a driveway!
By the hospital and the seniors south of that hasn't been done. Its getting really hard to navigate these streets.
They also need to start towing those that won’t move vehicles! Warnings don’t help
And 53 ave is missed again.
55 ST was not cleared, still have the no parking signs out.

While the holiday season is normally a time of celebration with family and friends, it can also be a period of increased crime. The good news is there are few simple steps you can take to help avoid falling victim to theft over the holidays!
If you plan to be away over the holidays, have someone regularly check on your property. Having your lights on timers, and having a neighbour or friend clear your walkways and parked vehicles of snow indicates someone is home.
If expecting a delivery try to arrange to be home to accept it, or have someone check frequently for your package. Valuables left on doorsteps are easy targets for thieves.
Always remove valuables and gifts from your vehicle and ensure doors and windows are secured.
Keep holidays plans off social media. Criminals or associates of criminals regularly surf social media for plans of people leaving town. Share your memories when you return from your holiday.
Take cardboard and gift wrap directly to the Recycling Centre rather than leaving it out for curbside collection. Criminals may take note of packaging for big ticket items such as TVs or video games left outside, indicating what kind of valuables are present inside your home.
With the increase of online shopping, always be mindful of your safety on the internet. Always use the official online store address, and monitor your payment services for any unusual activity.
