PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
NEW SAFETY CODES IN EFFECT AS OF NOVEMBER 1, 2015
The Planning & Development department would like to remind general contractors, building inspectors, home builders and subcontractors
that changes to building code regulations were effectively implemented by November 1, 2015.
The Alberta Building Code 2014 was adopted in February 2015 and came into effect on May 1, 2015. Persons who hold a related
Certificate of Competency as a Building Safety Code Officer will be required to complete Council-approved code update training.
Technical provisions for the design and construction of new buildings as well as the alteration, change of use or demolition of existing
buildings have been set out in the Alberta Building Code 2014.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?

An increase in the number of smoke alarms installed within dwelling units;

New building requirements for the control of the ingress of soil gases;

More energy efficient requirements for housing and small buildings;

Internationally recognized, language independent exit signs;

Improvements to barrier-free designs.

PUBLIC WORKS
Snow Removal
Our Public Works staff makes every effort to ensure that our
streets are clear of snow and ice during the winter months.
Please be patient as we complete this process. Snow plowing
and/or removal on streets will be started after a heavy snowfall
(15cm) or once accumulations have reached 15cm.
The priority areas are as follow:

Priority one includes main thoroughfares and bus
routes.

Priority two are businesses, streets and avenues.

Priority three are closes, courts and places – these are
cleared once all other major areas are complete.
Please note that the snow removal priority map is
available on the Town of Penhold Website.
Alleys are not listed as a priority and are maintained only for the
use of -garbage trucks. Should alleyways become impassable
they may be cleared as time permits.
This process may take two weeks or longer depending on snow
fall, conditions and work load. Should another 15cm of snow
accumulate during the snow removal process, priorities will shift
back to one and two.
Public Works makes every attempt to notify residents of intent to clear snow. Time
permitting; signs are normally placed alongside the street 12 hours in advance.
Please be courteous to Town staff as well as your neighbours by refraining from
parking on the road during the hours posted. Attempts will be made to contact the
registered owner of the vehicles, but note that vehicles are considered towable if
they are not in accordance with the posted street sign (Use of Highway and Rules of
the Road Regulation, Alta Reg. 304/2002 Sec. 44(n)).
Snow will be windrowed until removal is possible. Where applicable, snow will be
windrowed to the side of the street without a sidewalk.
Please use extra care when approaching snow removal equipment as visibility is
limited and equipment may stop and/or back up suddenly.
Please also consider neighbours and delivery people by clearing your sidewalks.
Snow must be removed within 72 hours of any snowfall (Traffic Bylaw 630/06 Sec.
18 a & b). Snow that is cleaned off sidewalks and driveways cannot be deposited
onto the road.
Christmas Tree Pickup
Public Works will be running the Christmas tree pickup again this year during the
week of January 11th. If you would like the Public Works department to pick up your
tree:


Place on your front lawn on or before January 11th @ 8:00am
Ensure tree is free of all decorations, tinsel and NOT bagged
Outdoor Rink
The outdoor rink will be ready as soon as weather and time permits. The shack will
only be open if a caretaker is present.
