Snow removal

Snow Clearing Operation on Town streets

Snow clearing, salting or sanding is carried out day and night on the Town’s streets throughout the winter. Priorities during these operations remain main arteries, emergency services routes and school zones. 

To allow vehicles to circulate safely, snow from the street must be plowed to the shoulder of the road over the course of these operations.

Private driveways may become blocked during snow clearing operations. It is the responsibility of residents to remove this snow from their driveways.

Snow Clearing service – Private driveways

The Town provides snow clearing service for private driveways to people 65 years of age and over.
