Calgary Winters Are Safer When Everyone Pitches in to Clear Snow and Ice
While our crews are clearing roads, designated pathways, and overpasses, residents and business owners are reminded to remove snow and ice from their property’s adjacent sidewalk within 24 hours of snowfall ending.
The fine for not removing snow/ice from a sidewalk/pathway is $250, with an escalating scale for subsequent convictions to the same property owner/occupant over a 12-month period.
Uncleared sidewalks can be reported to 311. Make sure to include the address or specific location details. A photo can be included with the 311 app.
When a complaint is submitted to 311, a Community Peace Officer issues a Snow and Ice Removal Notice, which gives the owner/occupant of a parcel 24 hours to clear the sidewalk. If after 24 hours the sidewalk has not been cleared, the file is then sent to a contractor to clear the sidewalk at the owner’s expense.
Consider being a Snow Angel and clear the sidewalk of a neighbour who could use your help.
Thank you for your attention,
