Set your address once. myHata watches the city for you. Your garbage schedule lives on one city website. Building permits on another. Snow routes on a third. Emergency alerts somewhere else entirely. myHata reads them all, pins them to your address, and speaks up only when something on your street actually changes. Built for Winnipeg homeowners, on the same public data the City, police, fire service and Environment Canada already publish. WHAT YOU GET Home — the routine that keeps a household running • Your exact garbage, recycling and yard waste days, with a reminder the evening before or the morning of • Snow plow zone and a heads-up before a residential parking ban • The nearest 4R drop-off depot, with live hours and one-tap directions • A searchable A–Z guide to what goes in which bin — works with no signal • Property tax: assessed value, estimated bill, the June 30 due date and the March HATC deadline • Water meter and bill reminders, plus how your tap water measures against provincial standards • Seasonal upkeep nudges: furnace filters, smoke and CO detectors, outdoor taps, gutters, the spring once-over Around — what's changing on your block • New building permits near you • Planning notices, variances and rezonings, in plain language, with appeal dates • 311 service requests neighbours have filed nearby • Road and lane closures, so a detour is never a surprise • Capital projects around you • Vacant and derelict building orders Safety — what's happening nearby • Recent Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service calls near your home • Residential break-ins and auto thefts from Winnipeg Police E-Watch, with the block or intersection • Neighbourhood crime trends from WPS Crime Maps • Alert Ready emergency broadcasts — severe weather, air quality, flood and civil emergencies — filtered to your area • The live Air Quality Health Index from the nearest Environment Canada station Info — reference you want on hand • 311, water and waste emergencies, Manitoba Hydro, animal services — tap to call • Your councillor, ward and community committee • Short how-to guides and a Winnipeg bylaw cheat-sheet for noise, parking, snow and property standards • Nearest emergency rooms, urgent care, pharmacies and 24-hour vets QUIET BY DESIGN Every source has its own switch. Choose instant alerts, a daily digest or a weekly roundup — per category, not all-or-nothing. Start from a preset (Quiet, Balanced or Everything) and adjust anything you like. Emergency broadcasts are the only things that reach you instantly by default. PRIVACY No account. No sign-up. No ads. No trackers, no third-party analytics SDKs, and nothing sold to anyone. Your address is used for one thing: filtering public data to your area and routing the right notifications to your device. Settings has a Delete my data button that removes your device and its address from our servers in one tap. Full policy: https://myhata.app/privacy.html ABOUT THE DATA myHata is an independent app. It is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the City of Winnipeg, the Winnipeg Police Service, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service, Manitoba Hydro, Shared Health or Environment Canada. Every card credits its source and links back to the original record. myHata is a convenience layer, not an emergency service. It is not a replacement for 911, for Alert Ready on your device, or for official City channels. Health information in the app is never medical advice. Always follow guidance from emergency services directly. Winnipeg first. Other Canadian cities need their own data wiring — tell us which one you want at https://myhata.app/#grow Questions, bugs, or a feed you'd like handled differently: hello@myhata.app
