Sparwood’s fall open house takes place on Tuesday and will showcase a number of programs and initiatives going on in the community.
One of the topics will be an update on the FoodCycler pilot program.
The program will offer countertop composters to residents at a subsidized rate.
Mayor David Wilks said they would help cut down on wildlife attractants.
“The challenge with other forms of reducing food waste for Sparwood is trying to hold onto that for a week before collection,” said Wilks.
“At some point in time, it will start to smell and we have wild animal issues as well if you try to store that outside.”
There will also be an update on what council got up to at the UBCM convention back in September.
Curbside recycling, the district’s new FireSmart program, river access and youth programming will also be discussed among others.
The meeting is open to all residents.
It runs from 6-8 p.m. at council chambers on Tuesday, Oct. 28.
