WINTER OPERATIONS DID YOU KNOW Cleaning up after a storm takes time and as hard as our crews’ work, they can’t be everywhere at once. They do their best to maintain all roads, sidewalks and trails within 24 hours after the snowfall ends.

If it has been more than 24 hours since the snowfall has ended and your street hasn’t been maintained let us know. WWW.GRAVENHURST.CA/REPORTIT
