Snow and ice removal

Snow and ice on sidewalks can impact the ability of people to get around safely – including pedestrians with service animals, walkers, wheelchairs and strollers. Residents and businesses are responsible and required to clear the way around their property.

• Property owners are required to completely remove snow and/or ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property
• Do not push or blow snow from your property back on to the street. This is in violation of the Highway Traffic Act and it creates unsafe conditions.
• Where possible, pile snow on the right side of your driveway (as you face the street) so that cleared snow does not get moved back onto your driveway by the snow plow.
• Reduce the height of the snow bank at the end of your property by shoveling snow back further onto your property. This improves visibility when entering or exiting your driveway.
• For safety reasons, remove snow around exit doors, stairways, fire escapes and furnace vents. If there is a fire hydrant in front of your home or business, remove snow and ice around the fire hydrant.
