Snow Shovelling

Playing Your Part and Caring About Other’s Safety

Shovel the sidewalk in front of your home after a snowfall

Depending on where you live, you might have to shovel by a certain time or within a certain number of hours after a snowfall. For example, in Brampton, you are required to clear your sidewalks of snow by 11 am the day after a snowfall.

Don't shovel onto the road

You are required to shovel your driveway but be careful not to shovel snow onto the street as that may be unsafe for passing cars.

Help your Neighbour

If you share a sidewalk or driveway with your neighbour, or if they need a hand, be a Good Neighbour and help them shovel!
