Winter reminder!
With the recent snowfall, please refrain from shoveling snow from sidewalks and driveways onto the roadways.
Shovel snow in toward your property, this helps keep roads safe and aids with clearing and stormwater flow.
Keep fire hydrants clear: ensuring snow is not piled around the hydrant aids emergency services access
Avoid blocking curbs: leave space for your garbage, recycling, and compost carts to assist in easier collection
Avoid blocking storm drains: don’t pack snow into storm drains by parking on them or shoveling snow onto them. Blocked drains create pooling and potential flooding.
According to section 5 of the Property Responsibilities Bylaw, residents may face penalties of up to $250 for depositing snow or ice onto roadways or public lands, including failing to remove snow from sidewalks adjacent to their property within 48 hours, or neglecting to apply non-slip material onto ice-covered walkways.
