🌊❌ Due to the critical water main break in Bowness, wading pools & spray parks around the city will remain closed until the water restrictions are lifted.
Then final preparations that involve water use can be completed and the wading pools and spray parks can open. ☀️

Moose, like Maple, often search out salt in chilly months, as sodium is a rare element in their diet. This attracts them to salted roads, often leading to accidents with vehicles. You can stay safe by watching for moose and other hooved mammals on the road this winter! 🧂🚦
