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.
