As winter maintenance continues, keeping streets clear of vehicles remains one of the most effective ways to support efficient snow removal. Vehicles left in active subzones or where temporary no parking signs are placed are subject to a $120 Notice of Violation plus towing fees.   

Effective Jan. 29 at noon, the load limit for the Fort Chipewyan Winter Road is increasing to 45,000 kg. 

After a decade shaped by challenges and resilience, the region is growing again for the first time in 10 years. Census 2025 reported a total population of 107,740, a 1.6 per cent increase from 2021.

Crews are continuing snow removal operations and getting closer to completing all streets in Fort McMurray.

Subzones 1 and 2 will be active from Jan.26-30 for snow removal operations, with on-street parking restrictions in effect 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Subzones 3 and 4 will be active Feb. 2-6.  

Following parking restrictions helps speed up winter maintenance. When a subzone is active, all vehicles must be off the street on your scheduled maintenance day from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Do not park back on the street before 6 p.m., even if work appears complete, as crews may need to return.
