During snow events, necessary staff and equipment are diverted from their regularly scheduled duties in order to clear snow from parking lots and sidewalks at public buildings and parks.
When resources allow, these parks and facilities are prioritized to those with highest volume traffic first such as City Centre Aquatic Complex, Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, Maillardville Community Centre, or Town Centre Park.
Sites are also prioritized based on their relative distance from schools, or their importance as community connectors.
