A few words from Derek & Vanessa
Spring is finally here! Wow, what a cold snap we just came through. The warm weather brings out walkers and children playing so please remember that the speed limit is 30km through-out the park.
We would like to extend a very warm welcome to those who have moved into the park this past winter. We truly hope you are enjoying living here in the meadows.

The Town of Stony Plain will be holding its annual Treasure Hunt and Large Item Pick-up again this year. The Treasure Hunt will take place the weekend of May 3-5th. The Large Item Pick-up will follow the week after on May 6-10th. Check out the Reporter or the Town web-site at stonyplain.com for more information. This is a great opportunity to get rid of “stuff” laying around that you no longer need. However, if your stuff is not out to the curb for the Large Item Pick-up by the 6th of May the Town will not come back and pick it up. Restrictions apply.

Complaint Department
Dog poop! Clean it up!! I don’t know how else to say it. Keep your yards clear of dog feces as well. Dogs need to be chipped, tattooed or have dog tags on. Please provide the office with a picture of your dog so that in the event the dog gets out the office will have a reference from which to start to get the dog home safely. You can email it to me as well.
Coyote Update: We have had coyotes in and around the park recently. The truth is they get to live here as well as us. I contacted Fish & Wildlife recently. They gave me some great information how to deal with an encounter. A Coyote Hotline has been set up at 780-644-5744. There is a lot of good information available to you from that number. Fish & Wildlife will not “trap” a coyote. The only way they get involved is if the coyote is aggressive or injured. If this is the case you need to call 1-800-642-3800. This number is available 24/7. F&W did tell me that it has been over 20 years since there has been an attack on a human. Common sense must prevail; dogs on leashes, not leaving garbage out etc. Check out the hotline for more information.
Taxes: Regarding property taxes, you have until April 24th to dispute and get reassessed. If you think you have been unfairly assessed please call the Town at 780-963-2151 for more information.
If anyone has a complaint or concern please call the office to discuss or drop me a signed note into our MM mailbox. If the letter is not signed we cannot deal with it properly.
Odds and Ends
When selling your home please advise your Realtor that signs ARE NOT to be put in the ground. Window signs or sandwich boards are permitted. Also, if you are selling privately please be aware that any future Tenant must meet with Park Approval. Have them come in and speak with us.
In Closing
Our office continues to get a lot of traffic through it and we could not be more pleased with the comments we receive about our park. So, thank you!! We feel so fortunate to have a park filled with such special people.
Thought to Ponder: Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush!
