Frequently Asked Questions
Snow at ends of driveways |
There will always be snow that is deposited into driveway openings by the plow after snowfall as this cannot be avoided. Homeowners are responsible for clearing their driveway of snow. If you are unable to clear this snow, we suggest you contact family, neighbours or contractors that can help with snow removal. Placing snow or ice on a roadway is a violation under the Highway Traffic Act. It is also a safety hazard for pedestrians and vehicles, causing snowy and slippery conditions and hampers our operations and delays clean-up by requiring equipment to return to previously cleared areas. Please place all snow onto grassy areas or where there is no walkway or road |
Snow Removal |
During the winter season, Public Works staff monitors weather conditions through road patrols and local forecasts to strategically dispatch crews to clear roads and ensure safety for the municipality. The Public Works department provides winter maintenance to Township roads through snow clearing and ice control. Operations may be conducted seven days per week, depending on the timing of snow and ice events. Drivers’ maximum number of hours worked per day are regulated by the Province of Ontario. The Public Works Department will work to be as effective, efficient, and professional as possible under these conditions |
