Due to the ongoing extreme heat and dry conditions, the Parks department has decided to delay the start of their main mowing operations. The department will assess the mowing and fire risk to ensure the safety and well-being of the community. They are closely monitoring the situation and will evaluate the feasibility of the main mowing later this week.

In the meantime, they want to assure you that they have implemented spot mowing in priority areas under supervision. This includes essential locations such as sports fields and irrigated lands.

  • Main Mowing: The full-scale start of all mowing operations across the City is currently on hold as we assess the situation and prioritize safety.
  • Priority Mowing: We have implemented a scaled-back mowing program specifically for priority areas under supervision. This includes areas like sports fields and irrigated lands that require regular maintenance.

They understand the importance of keeping our parks and green spaces well-maintained. The dedicated Parks team is working diligently to ensure the proper care and maintenance of our outdoor areas while taking into account the current weather conditions and associated risks.

Thank you for your cooperation and support as we work together to maintain a safe and beautiful Grande Prairie.
