Stay Winter-Ready: Key Snow Regulations for Ottawa Residents
As the snowy season approaches, it’s important to stay informed about Ottawa’s snow removal regulations to ensure a smooth winter for everyone. Here are some key updates and resources to keep in mind:
1. Snow Knowledge Pamphlet
As a licensed snow removal contractor (Capital S.L.C. Inc.), we’re committed to transparency. The City of Ottawa now requires all licensed contractors to share their new Snow Knowledge pamphlet. It’s packed with helpful tips and information. Curious about your contractor’s licensing status? You can verify it here.
2. Snow Removal By-law
The updated Snow Removal By-law (Schedule 4 of By-law 2024-418) outlines responsibilities for residents and contractors. Take a moment to review it to ensure compliance and avoid any surprises this season.
3. Winter Parking Bans
Parking bans are crucial during major snow events, ensuring roads are accessible for snow-clearing operations. Even when a ban isn’t in place, please respect local signage and any temporary restrictions.
