Children and Youth Caught on Community Hall Roof

It would seem to be that time of year again when young people are outside longer hours and seem to have nothing better to do than to climb up on the roof of the Community Hall. This is not safe! It is also trespassing. In the future, pictures will be taken of any offenders and published in the newsletter. Pictures and names will also be forwarded to Edmonton Police Service for prosecution.

Then call the City at their 24 hour contact line and complain. The more complaints the city receives, the more likely they are to do something about the problem.
