IMPORTANT REMINDERS

Please be patient and cooperative with the snow removal crews in the streets.

Parking: advance warning of snow loading operations is signaled by flashing or fixed lights on major thoroughfares and by special notices placed on side streets. Please pay close attention to the temporary orange signage; parked vehicles that hinder snow removal operations will be towed.

Snow removal: snow from private driveways and walkways may be added to the existing snowbanks before their removal, but must never obstruct public sidewalks, lanes or streets. Fines may be levied on homeowners and/or contractors who contravene these regulations. On collection days, please ensure that materials are kept out of the path of street and sidewalk ploughs.
