All Winter Maintenance Subzones relaxed Dec. 23-Jan. 3

Snow clearing will continue on primary, secondary and tertiary streets, with school zones as a priority

All subzones are relaxed over the holidays from Dec. 23-Jan. 3. This means there will be no on-street WMZ parking restrictions during this time.

Watch out for no parking signs

Crews will continue clearing snow on primary, secondary and tertiary streets and will focus on removing snow from school zones and other areas with less traffic. Temporary no parking signs will be placed 24 hours in advance at locations where snow removal is scheduled. After 24 hours, on-street parking restrictions will be in effect and parked vehicles must be removed from the street until the signs are taken away.

Remove collection bins from the curb

Prevent winter maintenance delays and keep streets clear for snowplows and equipment to plow and remove snow. Curbside collection bins must be removed from the street the same day they are picked up.

Driveways and sidewalks

The removal of snow from sidewalks and driveways is the responsibility of residents in the adjacent home and needs to be completed within 48 hours after a snowfall. Help keep your neighbours and our crews moving this season and shovel snow onto yards and greenspaces dividing driveways. Snow should never be shoveled back onto the street.
