June safety & enforcement focus

Traffic safety spotlight

Commercial vehicle safety

Summer construction season is picking up. That means more large trucks, equipment haulers, and commercial vehicles sharing our roads. Knowing how to drive safely around them can prevent serious crashes.

🚛 Give trucks more space. Large vehicles need more room to brake, turn, and maneuver. Don't cut in front of them, and avoid lingering in their blind spots — if you can't see the driver's mirrors, they can't see you.

🚧 Merge early, not at the last second. When you see a lane closure ahead, move over in good time. Late merges create dangerous situations for everyone, including transport drivers who can't stop quickly.

⚠️ Watch for wide loads and slow-moving equipment. On highways and rural roads, oversized loads can take up more than one lane. Slow down, stay back, and pass only when it's safe and legal to do so.

Commercial drivers have responsibilities too — proper load securement, vehicle maintenance, and hours-of-service rules all protect everyone on the road. If you see an unsecured load or unsafe vehicle, you can report it to Alberta Transportation at 310-0000.

Safe roads are a shared responsibility. Drive with patience and awareness around commercial vehicles this season.

Bylaw focus — yard maintenance 🌿

Summer is here and lawns are growing fast. Keeping your yard tidy is a Community Standards requirement — and it makes a real difference in how our community looks and feels.

Long grass and weeds

• Grass must be kept below 15 cm
• Clear weeds from your yard, including along fences and property edges
• Overgrown yards create habitat for mosquitoes and other pests

This applies to all properties, including vacant lots. If you're away for part of the summer, make arrangements to have your lawn maintained.

A first offence for non-compliance with Section 5.2 of the Community Standards Bylaw (Bylaw 1045, 2020) can result in a $300 penalty.

Got a question or concern about a property in your neighbourhood? Contact us at 403-562-8833 or reception@crowsnestpass.com.

PEAKS TO PINES RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION & CROWSNEST CRUISERS

PEAKS TO PINES RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION

A huge thank you goes out to our General Store volunteers for helping us provide treats and essential items to the residents, staff, and visitors to the Lodge…Brenda Schulz, Carol Wasylien, Colleen MacDonald, Donna Van Buskirk, Joanne Liddell, Judy Long, Mary Markowski, Michi McClung, Pam Hellevang, Pauline Desjardins, Rina Beech, and Yvonne Aschacher! If you are interested in this or other rewarding volunteer opportunities, please contact us! Check out our website at www.p2pra.ca. It includes information about our fundraising efforts, an ‘In Memory’ page, list of donors, and much more!

We are a registered charity and issue tax receipts for donations of $25 or more. Name plates are mounted on a Wall of Thanks in the lobby of Peaks to Pines Seniors Lodge for donations of $100 or more. Logos of donors may be placed on the Crowsnest Cruisers van for donations of $5,000 or more to that service. Donors are also recognized on social media. We accept donations by cheque, cash, or e-transfer to peakstopinesresidents@gmail.com.

CROWSNEST CRUISERS

The Cruisers provides assisted transportation for older adults (50+) and persons with mobility challenges locally throughout the Crowsnest Pass and out-of-town to Pincher Creek, Fort Macleod, Lethbridge, and Calgary. Call Marie @ 403.583.5598 to book your ride.

Local hours of service are:

• Monday/Wednesday/Friday: 8:30am – 3:00pm
• Tuesday/Thursday: 9:00am – 5:00pm

Rider fees are:

Local trips $10 one-way, $20 return, with $1 for each additional stop. GREAT NEWS! LOCAL RIDER FEES HAVE BEEN LOWERED, IF YOUR TRIP STAYS WITHIN THE SAME TOWN, TO $5 ONE-WAY, $10 RETURN!

Stamp cards for local trips are available for $25 from the driver or at the General Store at the Peaks to Pines Seniors Lodge…a great gift idea!

Out-of-town return trips: Pincher Creek $35; Fort Macleod $75; Lethbridge $100; and Calgary $200. Subsidies are available for individuals who qualify. If possible, please try to arrange appointments in Pincher Creek on the second Tuesday of the month and in Lethbridge on the third Thursday of the month. Your help with this is appreciated!

The out-of-town rides have doubled over the past few months, so we are in desperate need of volunteer drivers! If you have a Class 1, 2, or 4 driver's license (or are willing to obtain one) and are able to help us once or twice a month, we’d love to hear from you! Honorariums are offered to volunteer drivers. Call Darcy at 403.583.5587 for more information.
