Well this is my second message and it looks like fall is here! By the time you read this, the kids will be well into their studies at school. If you need a break, take them to the pool for FREE with your Belmead membership.

We would like to thank everyone who came to our Annual Fall Carnival as it was a huge success, please see Louise’s report in the newsletter or click here.

Just a reminder, our Community is always looking for volunteers, no matter how small or large a role you can play. In order to keep Belmead a vibrant community, we need our member’s support to help make this happen. An Executive commitment is one meeting a month and on occasion, help is required for Community activities (e.g. Sleigh Ride, Fall Carnival, etc). A Coordinator commitment depends on the program level you wish to support. Many hands make for light work! If you’re interested in meeting new people, having some laughs and contributing to your Community, please join us at our monthly meetings which are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm, all members are welcome to attend.
In the mean time, check the website for the upcoming programs including Holiday Crafts, Gingerbread House Decorating, Snow Shack and more. Remember, if you have any ideas about some things that you would like to see your Community League do or provide, don’t hesitate to find us and let us know. Come join us!

Are you uncertain what the rules are for walking dogs in the City of Edmonton? The City of Edmonton has very specific rules for dogs set out in the Animal Control Bylaw and the Parks Bylaw. Rules for dogs are in place for the safety of your community and the safety of your pet. It’s pretty simple…

- In the City of Edmonton, you must license your dog.
- In the City of Edmonton, you must clean up your pet’s defecation.

How do you know you are walking on parkland?
Parkland means any property whether developed or not, owned, controlled or maintained by the City of Edmonton that is intended for use by members of the public for recreation or general enjoyment – any green areas, groomed parks, naturalized roadway buffers, boulevards, river and ravine lands and community leagues (including Belmead) – are parkland.

You can walk your dog on parkland so long as your dog is:
- leashed, licensed and on a trail at least .5m wide;
- leashed, licensed and on a boulevard;
- leashed, licensed and in an area governed by signage permitting dogs.

Dogs are not allowed in playgrounds, schools, park picnic areas, sportsfields, golf courses and park facilities.

Park for Paws
There are now 40 sites across Edmonton where dogs can be walked off-leash. You must carry a leash no longer than 2m with you. For locations of off-leash areas in the West area, please call 780-496-7320.

Outside of designated off-leash areas, dogs must be on a leash at all times.

Visit www.edmonton.ca/parks for more information about dogs. For Bylaw or Park Patrol information, call 780-496-2950. For information about off-leash areas in your neighborhood call Parks for Paws at 780-496-1475.

We are very grateful for the concerned Belmead members who have come forward to assist our community league. Please help out your community league! Our regular meetings are the third Thursday @ 7:00 pm and all members are welcome to attend.
