Cogeco Neighbourhood Rink Program
Posted on Thursday, September 28, 2023 09:30 AM

Posted on Wednesday, September 27, 2023 10:30 AM
Yesterday, Burlington City Council approved the implementation of windrow clearing program enhancements beginning this winter. This includes increasing the number of available spots from 200 to 1,000 driveways. In addition, service boundaries will expand to include all areas of the city.
A windrow is the pile of snow that is left at the bottom of driveways by roadway plows. As part of the City’s windrow program, crews will clear windrows within 36-hours of snowfall stopping and within 12-hours of residential road plowing. Residential road plowing only occurs after accumulations of 7.5 cm or more of snow. Windrow clearing services will run from Dec. 1, 2023 until March 31, 2024. A non-refundable fee of $125 + HST, per driveway entrance for the entire season must be paid at the time of registration.
In years past, the program was only offered to persons with disabilities and individuals unable to clear their windrow(s). As part of the program’s expansion, the City now has the capacity to...
