Who is responsible for removing snow from the sidewalks?
The City’s Traffic Bylaw #8120, Section 2.5.1, requires the owners or occupiers of property to remove snow and ice from the sidewalk(s) bordering their property within 24 hours. When 5 cm (2″) or more snow is received in one snowfall, the City performs an inkind service and will plow sidewalks to one plow width. However, this does not relieve the property owners/occupiers of their legal responsibility to clear sidewalks along their property.
