How frequently does the Town of Drayton Valley mow greenspaces it is responsible for?

The Town of Drayton Valley endeavors to maintain an approximate 8 – 10 day cycle to mow all greenspaces that are the responsibility of the town (Weather Permitting).

The Town of Drayton Valley‘s schedule of maintenance for greenspaces is dependent on weather conditions, staff resources, equipment availability, and emergent situations that may require immediate response.

Does the Town maintain school areas or any other public or private greenspaces?

It is not the responsibility of the Town to maintain school property, as it is the responsibility of the school division. In years past Town of Drayton Valley has maintained some greenspaces for the Wildrose School Division.  This year those areas are being maintained by the school division entirely.

Does the Town of Drayton Valley spray for dandelions?

The Town of Drayton Valley does not spray for dandelions. The Town does spray for prohibited noxious weeds in compliance with the Alberta Week Control Act. The Town yearly appoints weed inspectors to enforce compliance with the Alberta Weed Control Act.
