Did you know that you have a role to play during winter operations as a resident of Vaughan? If you have a fire hydrant, sidewalk or catch basin near your property, you are responsible for clearing them of snow and ice. 

Winter is here and we are in the middle of another snowfall! To help everyone respond, the City of Vaughan is reminding residents that snow does NOT belong on the road. In fact, it’s against the law to place it there. 

The City of Vaughan is working around the clock to help keep the community safe. Winter efforts are in full force as crews began a city-wide plowing, salting and windrow-clearing operation on main public roads and sidewalks early this morning. Cleanup will continue on secondary roads, sidewalks and City park paths this afternoon. 

With snow in the forecast, the City of Vaughan’s winter crews are on the job – no matter the size or scale! Learn everything you need to know about the City’s winter operations during declared Significant Weather Events.
