Snow Removal

The City of Vaughan provides residents with a high level of snow-removal services. Whether it’s reducing ice on roads, removing snow from roads or clearing it from paths, sidewalks and windrows, the City’s crews strive to ensure residents and visitors can travel safely despite the weather.

CHATS Snow-Clearing Program

CHATS-Community and Home Assistance to Seniors is a not-for-profit organization that has been providing home and community supports to older adults across York Region and South Simcoe since 1980. The CHATS Snow-Clearing Program is a paid service that connects individuals with the organization’s pre-approved service providers with quotes for winter snow clearance services. The cost for snow clearing is paid for by the homeowner. Services offered include driveway snow clearing, walkway clearing to the front/main door and salting on walkways to the front/main door. This program is available to Vaughan residents aged 55 and older or with age-related illness. Subsidies are available based on the completion of a financial assessment.

The CHATS Snow-Clearing Program is available from Sunday, Nov. 15, 2020 until Thursday, April 15, 2021. Early registration is encouraged and can be done by calling 1-866-677-9048, ext. 7669 (SNOW) or emailing snow@chats.on.ca.
