Message from the Mayor

Every year, the changing leaves and shorter days signify that winter is on its way. While the gardens and grass are replaced with a blanket of snow, the people of Drayton Valley are busy gearing up for an exciting fall and winter season. We are not a community that hides away when those cold winds begin to blow. Here in Drayton Valley we celebrate new and existing ways to be involved in the community. Whether you are a seasoned veteran of Drayton Valley or visiting for the first time, the 2013/2014 Fall & Winter Community Guide to Arts, Learning, Recreation and Support Services will show you how to make the most of your time here. Skate on our indoor ice rinks or our many ponds; cross-country ski through beautifully groomed trails; hit the slopes at our ski hill; toboggan on the hills at our unique waste management facility on Family Day. Winter is also the perfect time to take up a new hobby or better yet, volunteer. No matter your interest or ability, there is something here for you in Drayton Valley. Be sure to take advantage of our rich recreational culture of family, friends and fun and use this guide to discover the abundant activities and services offered in our community. On behalf of Council and the Town of Drayton Valley, I wish you all a very safe and enjoyable fall and winter season.

Block Parties
How can a barbeque fight crime?
Grilling isnt just for suspects! Its also key to tackling crime. Throwing a block party is a fun and easy way to help you get to know your neighbors. Research shows that communities have lower crime rates when neighbors know and care about each other. So take a step to building a safer community and hold a block party. Involve local businesses and residents. Invite people you know and people you dont. Make it an event that welcomes families and singles, young and old, newcomers and old-timers. Ask your community leaders and police officers to come and mingle. Most of all, create an event that feels like the neighborhood you want to have.

What the Public Can Do to Help with graffiti

If you see graffiti being applied, its a crime in progress. Call 9-1-1 The quick removal of graffiti is the most effective means to prevent further acts of vandalism, so property owners should remove graffiti within 24 hours after it appears. Volunteer your time, donate supplies or help in any way you can to eliminate graffiti in your community. Adopt a street, park, school, church, or business that is a target for graffiti vandalism. In addition to removing graffiti consider planting trees, bushes or flowers that may deter graffiti.

Family Day Unplugged

Why Unplug?
73% of kids would rather play with their parents than watch TV or use the Internet. Teens who have more than three family dinners per week are likely to get better grades. Residents in connected neighborhoods have greater quality of life. Three critical factors for healthy physical and psychological child development are movement, touch and connection to other humans.

The skatepark Committee was formed in 2007 to address the deficiencies of the existing park and since then, this youth driven committee has worked very hard to make its dream of a modern BMX /Skatepark a reality in Drayton Valley. At their core, skateparks are the new meeting place. They are the point of congregation for young people and their parents. The sport is innovative and the language is unique. But the result is easily understood; skateboarding is an activity that combines challenge, athleticism and skill at its highest level. Newly constructed , the skatepark is located at 4804-44 Street. Contact the Town Office at 780-514-2200 for any further information on the 4-S Skatepark. Photos courtesy of Skateparktour.ca
4-S Skatepark Etiquette

1) Be Patient
In simple terms, this means, Wait your turn! Pay attention when other people are riding.
2) Learn the Lines

Stand and watch other riders for a few minutes before venturing into the park so that you can learn the traffic patterns and not ride against the flow of other riders.
3) Cross with Care

Crossing the Skatepark from one area to another can be very dangerous, always look both ways before crossing.
4) Be Considerate of the Young Kids

Remember everyone has to start somewhere. Take the time and explain the rules of skateboarding and help them out.
5) Dont Trash the Park

Always pick up after yourself, dont leave your garbage lying out to be blown around or picked up by someone else. Its your duty to keep the park and street clean from your garbage.
6) Be Respectful
If you show respect to others and the park, you will earn respect for yourself. Your actions will impact the perception of the park, so take responsibility and follow Skatepark etiquette at all times.
