With the arrival of spring, the Weyburn Police Service wants to remind residents to clean their yards. The police get numerous complaints each year of messy and unkept yards, and this year the process has changed.

Those residents that do have yards that are found to be in contravention of the bylaw will be issued a summary ticket, similar to a traffic ticket. The ticket and fine can be cancelled if the home owner cleans up the yard by a specified time. Failing to clean the yard during that time may result in further charges under the bylaw.

If you or anyone you know has information about a crime, the Weyburn Police Service urges you to contact Crime Stoppers by phoning 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or call the Weyburn Police Service at 306-848-3250.
