Pathway Grit Bins

The Westgate Community Association (WCA) has received funding to place grit bins in neighbourhood pathway connectors.

Pathway connectors are the walkways that connect our sidewalks throughout the community. To improve neighbourhood walkability, grit bins–with the same sanding mix the city offers– have been placed strategically in these connectors for community use. 

Any issues related to the bins can be reported to the WCA. For any issues with the pathway connector itself, please contact 311.  This includes any dangerous conditions, trip hazards or damage to pathway itself.

  • A grit bin with sanding mix and a scoop will be placed in each pathway connector within Westgate

    The mix will be topped up as necessary by WCA members

  • No! Maintenance of the bins will be performed by the WCA

    Anyone is welcome to use the sanding mix in the pathway connector.

    Bins will be checked periodically, however if you notice any issues with the bins please reach out to the WCA so we can look into it.

  • The bins and sanding mix are provided by the WCA and Navacord Action Grants.

  • Please reach out to info@westgatecommunity.ca with any questions about the bins
