In the Community

Winter is coming. Here’s how the City prioritizes routes and how residents can help keep sidewalks safe.

‍

City Priorities

• Primary roads cleared first for emergency access
• School and transit routes follow
• Residential streets in later passes

‍

Your Role

1. Clear sidewalks within 24 hours of snowfall
2. Use sand on icy patches; avoid over‑salting
3. Check on neighbours who may need assistance

‍

“Prepared streets + kind neighbours = safer winters.”

‍

Find sand locations and updates on the City’s service page during storms. Report trouble spots via the city hotline or app for the fastest response.

Meet fellow residents, pick a block, and help keep our neighbourhood litter‑free with the Adopt‑a‑Block program.

‍

How It Works

• Choose a street, park, or trail section
• Grab cleanup supplies and safety tips
• Log your hours to track community impact

‍

Perfect For

1. Families and friend groups
2. Classrooms and clubs
3. Small businesses giving back

“Small efforts add up when we do them together.” — Program lead

‍

Drop‑in is welcome; sign‑ups help organizers prep supplies. Email the coordinator if you’d like to adopt a block outside the core area.

Pro Tips
