Snow Clearing and Ice Control Operations January 19-23

There are two main ways the City runs snow plowing and ice control operations:

Priority Road Plowing and Ice Control
  • Occurs continuously throughout the winter in response to changing weather conditions.
  • The goal is to plow arterial (priority 1) and secondary (priority 2) roads to maintain clear access for emergency vehicles and general commuters.
  • Includes ice control operations such as sanding and salting, as well as windrow pick-up.
Residential Snow Clearing
  • Occurs in two-week rotations only when triggered by the City.
  • If a neighbourhood is not complete in week one, crews will return in week two.
  • Operated Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • The City hires contracted crews to plow residential roads.

Snow Clearing and Ice Control Operations January 19-23

This week, City crews are focused on winter maintenance and follow-up work across the city.

Work this week includes:

  • Ice control: Sanding crews will patrol roadways to address slippery sections.
  • Windrows and snow storage: Crews will continue breaking up and removing windrows and hauling snow from cul-de-sacs and other snow storage areas. This work will continue in various neighbourhoods over the coming weeks.
  • Back lanes: Targeted back lane clearing will take place where access and conditions allow.
  • Flood control: Crews will open and steam catch basins to support snowmelt management and help reduce water pooling as temperatures fluctuate.
  • Facilities and parking lots: Snow pile removal and cleanup will continue at City facilities and parking areas.

Parking bans remain in effect on permanent snow routes, including Priority 1 and Priority 2 roads, to support ongoing operations.

Snow and ice concerns can be submitted through the City’s online reporting tool at

Operations may adjust based on weather and road conditions. Updates will be shared as needed.
