News Release - Electric Light & Power moving to new Civic Yards

April 7, 2009

(Red Deer, Alberta) – On Thursday, April 9, 2009, staff at the Electric Light & Power department will move to the new Civic Yards located at 7721 40 Avenue. The new Civic Yards replaces several existing facilities with one main facility that can accommodate future growth and decreases The City’s overall ecological footprint.

Electric Light & Power is the third department moving to the new location. Other departments include Public Works, Transit, Parks and Environmental Services. Parks and Environmental Services are the first two departments to move to the new Civic Yards.

Although most phone numbers for EL&P staff that are moving will remain the same, new numbers may be added. The main contact numbers for EL&P department (403-342-8274) will not change.

Vendors who have contracts with moving departments must ensure deliveries are made to the new Civic Yards address once the department moves.

The City does not anticipate any delay in service while Electric Light & Power relocates.
