New Denver has many wonderful routes for walking dogs but before you head out remember to use a leash. In accordance with the Village of New Denver’s Animal Control Bylaws (Bylaw No. 516, 1999 and Bylaw No. 598, 2006) all dogs must be leashed while on public property within the Village of New Denver.

Also, a reminder for everyone to be a good neighbour and please pick up after your dog while on your walk. There are various dog bag dispensers available on the streets and trails around the Village for your convenience.

Municipal garbage collection takes place every Tuesday for residential properties in New Denver. Residents are reminded that solid waste must be bagged (in a manageable size and weight), tagged and placed in a garbage can before being placed curbside for collection. Please do not place residential garbage and/or recycling into the bear-proof garbage bins designated for visitors or public day use. If required, additional garbage tags are available for purchase at the Village Office.
According to WildSafeBC, garbage is the most reported attractant involved in human-bear conflicts. A reminder for residents to keep garbage secure until morning of collection, manage your fruit trees by picking fruit as it ripens or use an electric fence to protect fruit trees, feed pets indoors, and bring bird feeders inside from April to November. If you have questions about how to best manage your attractants, please reach out to the WildSafeBC Community Coordinator, Cora Skaien, at newdenver@wildsafebc.com or at 778-987-3652.

On Monday, July 13, the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) launched a new version of its Regional Energy Efficiency Program (REEP) – Home Renovation Program called ‘REEP – SaveNow.’ This program offers RDCK residents (both homeowners and renters) access to free energy savings products. Customers can choose any or all of the products available, from a fridge thermometer and retractable clothesline, to weatherstripping, to a free programmable or smart home thermostat.
To view the products available and request your free energy savings package, visit: https://rdcksavenow.ca/
This program was created to replace the previous REEP – Home Renovation Program offered by the Regional District. Due to limitations as a result of Covid-19, home energy evaluations are not possible at this time, meaning the previous program had to be put on hold. Still part of RDCK’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, this new REEP – SaveNow approach is a different way to help homeowners and renters make their homes more energy efficient. “By offering residents access to energy savings products, we are creating an opportunity for renters and homeowners to save money now, while we wait for energy evaluations to start up again,” says RDCK Senior Energy Specialist Paul Faulkner.
Funding is provided by the RDCK, Fortis BC and Nelson Hydro. The RDCK REEP – SaveNow program is open to all Regional District of Central Kootenay residents.
There is a limited amount of supplies, so order now while supplies last. Visit the Regional District’s website HERE for their media release about the program.
