Snow Removal

The office has received a few questions and concerns about this season’s snow removal.
We feel it might be helpful to provide some background information on plowing
standards and the Village’s long-established procedures.

• Under Ontario Reg. 239/02, Village roads are considered ‘Class 5’ and are to be kept
  cleared of snow, ice, and drifts, and shall have an accumulation no greater than 10
  cm (roughly 4 inches) before plowing. The contractor has 24 hours to clear the
  roadways once it has stopped snowing.
• Because it is so steep, the South Street hill is plowed to a higher standard and shall
  have an accumulation of no greater than 5 cm (roughly 2 inches) before plowing. This
  means that sometimes the hill will be plowed but other streets will not.
• The plow operator does regular patrols and monitors weather conditions to
  determine if plowing is necessary. If required, such as during a significant winter
  weather event, the mayor or office staff may direct the contractor to initiate plowing
  and sanding.

We would like to assure residents that their safety is our top priority. Please feel free to
contact the office with any questions.

The next Council meeting is Wednesday, March 8, 2023, at 6 p.m. If you have an item to
