Share your input on rural snow plowing

The development of a new Rural Snow and Ice Control Policy is underway to clearly define snowplowing priorities and service levels to help ensure a consistent approach in rural communities throughout the region. Feedback from rural residents will be collected until Sept. 21 to inform and shape the new policy. 

While snowplowing happens regularly on all Municipal roads, Council directed Administration to establish a new policy at the May 19 meeting as there is a Snow and Ice Control Policy in place for Fort McMurray, but not for the rural communities

Policy options along with service level recommendations and engagement findings are expected to be presented to Council for consideration this upcoming fall ahead of winter.

Share feedback by taking the survey

What is your experience with snowplowing in your community? What are your top priorities? Complete the quick poll, survey or attend an in-person event to share your experiences and input. Public engagement will close Sept. 21, 2026.

• Answer the one-minute Quick Poll to share your level of satisfaction with snow plowing in your community.
• Complete a five-minute Survey to identify your top snow plowing priorities and share experiences. The survey is available online, by calling Pulse or by completing a printed copy available at your rural municipal office.

Attend an in-person event in your community

Residents are invited to attend a series of community engagement events taking place in rural communities throughout August and September. These events provide an opportunity to connect with municipal staff, ask questions, learn about projects happening in each community, and share feedback. Follow the project page for event dates, locations and details.
