Winter is Just Around the Corner Right

Be Aware, Get Prepared

 
As recent events have shown, winter in the Lower Mainland can mean all kinds of weather, including snow and ice or wind and rain that can cause flooding and power failures. While City crews are out in full force 24/7 during these events, we also look to our residents to be prepared for the winter season.

Click the link below for information on seasonal parking restrictions on your street, tips on how you and your family can plan ahead, a description of our snow-clearing priorities and details on what you are responsible for, as well as access to our Snow Response Request Tool that allows you to report a hazardous road or sidewalk condition.
