Important Dates to Remember

If you’re planning to vote in the upcoming Presidential election, remember that the deadline to register online is just around the corner, falling on Tuesday. It’s a crucial time to check your registration status and make sure your voice will be heard come election day.

Keep Safe During Dry Conditions

Back in Shreveport, please stay informed as there’s been an increase in drought conditions leading to more burn bans in the area. It’s always best to be cautious and stay updated about local fire safety measures to ensure everyone’s safety.

Community Updates

This week also brought some local news in terms of public safety. Shreveport police are currently investigating a recent shooting at an apartment complex that left one individual seriously injured, with a suspect now in custody. Keeping community safety as a priority is essential, and investigations like these can help bring peace of mind to residents.

Additionally, in a move affecting local governance, proposed amendments to Bossier City‘s charter, including term limits, have been deferred from the December 7 ballot. These types of decisions can have long-term impacts on the community, so it’s something to keep an eye on as we move forward.

This weekend promises to bring sunny skies, exciting happenings, and important community events. From finding a furry friend to registering to vote, there’s plenty for residents of Shreveport and beyond to be involved in. So, make the most of the beautiful weather and get out there!
