Report to Council: September 16, 2025

At the September 16, 2025, meeting, Council adopted the proposed Snow and Ice Control Policy. This policy establishes a transparent, consistent approach to how snow and ice will be managed on the District-owned roads, sidewalks, and Multi-Use Path (MUP).

Key Takeaways

• Road Priorities – Critical routes adjacent to the hospital, fire hall, RCMP, school, Municipal Office, senior centre, and daycare are cleared first, followed by collector roads and then local roads.
• Sidewalks – The District will clear priority sidewalks, but residents and businesses are still responsible for sidewalks next to their properties.
• Multi-Use Pathway (MUP) – The District will take over responsibility for snow and ice clearing on the MUP. Property owners are no longer required to maintain adjacent sections.

Next Steps

• The amended Public Property Use Bylaw will proceed through Council’s bylaw adoption process.
• District staff will prepare standard operating procedures and update public information ahead of the winter season.
• Annual reviews will ensure routes and priorities remain aligned with community needs.
