Winter Snow Removal and Plowing Practices
It's our policy to meet the Province's Minimum Maintenance Standards for roadways. These standards don't apply to sidewalks.
Weekdays
- We have snow removal crews on mainland roads between 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. as needed.
- We clean sidewalks, boulevards, and very low traffic roads during the regular working hours of 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
- Minimal snowplowing of roads and sidewalks will occur outside the hours of operation described above.
Weekends
On Saturdays, Sundays, and statutory holidays, we will adjust the level of snow plowing effort based on the event, while still continuing to meet the provincial standards.
Amherst Island
On Amherst Island, the hours of operation have been adjusted so that the Minimum Maintenance Standards can be maintained. This may result in a reduced level of service during long periods of blowing snow or when there are successive snowfalls occurring over several days.
See snow, go slow!
If the road is covered with snow or ice, please drive safely and reduce your speed.
