EVENING WALKING REMINDER: STAY VISIBLE, STAY SAFE

We kindly remind residents to prioritize safety during evening walks. Please consider wearing bright or reflective clothing to enhance visibility for drivers. Utilizing crosswalks and remaining cautious at blind corners can ensure a safer community experience for everyone. 

STAY OUT OF ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION SITES

We’ve received a variety of reports from site superintendents at Predator Ridge that people are trespassing into active construction sites around our community. Please respect all signage and fencing which is there for your safety. If you would like a tour of any of our sites, please contact our real estate team and we would be happy to set something up for you. The safety of our residents, staff and guests is our top priority. Thank you for your cooperation and for respecting all signage.

PRIVATE STRATA GARBAGE AREAS

As a kind reminder, several stratas within our community operate their own private garbage facilities which are for exclusive use of residents in these stratas. Unlike the majority of residences at Predator Ridge, these stratas do not receive weekly garbage and recycling pickups from the City of Vernon and pay to operate their own systems. Additional collection requirements directly cost residences in these stratas extra fees.

The residents within these stratas would like to remind and request that all Predator Ridge residents be good neighbours and avoid dumping garbage, furniture and other materials at these private facilities. Additional measures are being added including locks on bins, signage and potentially installing security cameras.
