Note regarding Parking around the Hall

Recently there have been several complaints regarding illegal parking, vehicles driving on lawns or in the park, and vehicles driving the wrong way on one way streets.

Just a reminder: if you see any of the infractions above please call 311 immediately and report the incident to bylaw.

311 is also the number to call for other bylaw infractions such as:
– noise complaints

Looking Good in the Neighbourhood

You may have noticed Looking Good in the Neighbourhood signs going up around Queen Mary Park!

It’s great to see so many beautiful front gardens as we take our daily strolls through the community. Keep up the good work!

Community in the time of COVID

Like many organizations in the city the Queen Mary Park Community League has paused all programming, events, and hall rentals over the past 5 months in order to adhere to local and provincial restrictions rules regarding social distancing.

As summer progresses, hall rentals and regular events will remain on hold until they can resume in a responsible manner.

With that in mind, we hope to be able to continue regular programs (yoga, zumba, guitar lessons), pre-scheduled events (Halloween, Winterfest, New Year’s Eve), and hall rentals as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we hope you will find time to continue to connect with your community and neighbours in other ways! Join the conversation on the QMP Neighbourhood Forum on Facebook, create a WhatsApp group with your neighbours or have a Zoom hangout, and make sure to say “Hello!” and share a smile when out for your daily walk!
