In anticipation of significant snowfall and to ensure the safety of residents and staff, the City of Burlington’s recreational facilities will be closed on Sunday, Feb. 16, 2025. All recreation programs and rentals have been cancelled.  

The City of Burlington makes every effort to keep our facilities open during regular business hours; however, when unsafe weather conditions occur, the City must close facilities. We are disappointed too, but will open our facilities again as soon as it is safe to do so. Information for re-opening will be shared as soon as...

Snow Control Update, Feb. 15, 4 p.m.

Posted on Saturday, February 15, 2025 03:55 PM

City crews are currently out salting primary and secondary roads. Sidewalk plowing is also continuing.

Residents are reminded that all on-street parking is cancelled as of 6 p.m. tonight. Residents can park cars in neighbourhood park parking lots; NOT in recreation facility parking lots such as pools, arenas and community centres. Facility lots need to be cleared so we can reopen them as soon as possible.

Burlington Transit is operating with some weather delays and disruptions. Riders should visit myride.burlington.ca for real-time updates. 

A snow storm this big requires a coordinated, strategic approach. Streets and sidewalks are prioritized based on a number of criteria, including how often they’re used by commuters, access to important institutions like hospitals and schools, and whether they’re on major bus and transportation routes.

Residents should note that in snowfalls greater than 30cm, or in blizzard conditions, more time may be needed to complete clearing. The same exception may...

Snow Control Update - 9 a.m. Feb. 15

Posted on Saturday, February 15, 2025 09:00 AM

As part of the Significant Weather Event, a Snow Event has been declared and on-street parking is cancelled as of 6 p.m. today, Feb. 15.

On-street parking is cancelled until after the Snow Event has ended so plows can safely move through narrow streets in communities like Alton Village and the Orchard. Cars left on the street will be ticketed or towed.

Residents should note that in snowfalls greater than 30cm, or in blizzard conditions, more time may be needed to complete clearing. The same exception may apply when there are rapidly changing weather conditions, like flash freezes after rain, wet snow packed to ice and freezing rain. Crews will continue working until all streets and sidewalks are plowed and/or salted.   

A lot of snow is expected so please use caution and patience when travelling. Be sure to check on your neighbours, too.
