September Newsletter

Welcome back to school! If you’re a parent like me, you know that September can be a busy but exciting time of year. This month we’re offering tips on preparing for school and launching new projects for your business.

Home & Small Business webinar series

Are you looking to renovate your space, but don’t know where to start? Maybe you want to start a home business but all the regulations are making your head spin. Not to worry! We have a library of webinars to help you navigate the permits needed to get your project up and running.

New webinar topics will be launching this month, so visit our video series and stay in the know by visiting calgary.ca/webinar.

Emergency Prep at Home

With kids returning to school, now is the perfect time to review your home emergency preparedness plan so your family is ready for anything. As parents, there are lots of things we can do to prepare our little ones and keep them safe.

Here are four key steps we can all take to help prepare for an emergency:

1. Talk to your kids about disaster risks in Calgary
2. Include them in your household’s emergency planning 
3. Look for opportunities to learn more about emergency preparedness 
4. As a family, walk through how to prepare your home for an emergency

The Ready Squad e-course was designed to teach kids about Calgary’s disaster and emergency risks, how they can prepare, and how to stay safe during an emergency. Children can also download the Junior Weather Forecaster’s Challenge – a fun and creative way for everyone to learn more about the weather and its effects in Calgary. 

Visit calgary.ca/ReadySquad to find out more.

I hope you all have a great start to the school season, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
