The Corn Fest poster shows our new
logo, a silhouette of the
downtown skyline which will be worked into the web site and all promotional materials for the beginning of September.

EDMONTON POLICE SERVICE &
SAFETY CONCERNS
Parking Passes have been
offered to many people at downtown lots -- these tickets are usually bought with a stolen credit card or a credit
card that has been obtained fraudulently. Please do not purchase these as you are contributing to the continuing
problem and increasing personal safety risks at these locations (vehicle break-ins, aggressive panhandlers, etc.)
If you are approached, please report the incident to the police.
Theft from vehicles continues to be a problem. Please do
not leave change or valuables in your car.
Panhandling is becoming increasingly aggressive in Oliver
Square and on Jasper Avenue. Resources are being put in place to help with this problem. Some of the more aggressive
panhandlers have been identified and appropriate action is being looked into. Please contact the Community Liaison
Constable at brooks.nyszczuk@police.edmonton.ab.ca about aggressive or repeat offenders.
The Jaywalking bylaw has been amended and the fine has
risen from $40 to $250. The city will be doing some education defining Jaywalking but in the meantime be sure to
cross at crosswalks. The City of Edmonton website has listings of all of the Bylaws. www.edmonton.ca
