• remove snow from your sidewalk and footpaths
• clear snow from catchbasins
• ​clear snow within 1 meter of any fire hydrant near your property
• ​observe on-street parking restrictions
• check in with your neighbours to see if they need anything

Safe driving during snow

You can keep yourself, your family, and other pedestrians and drivers safe, by following a few simple guidelines when the streets are icy or visibility is poor:

• Slow down, and be sure to leave plenty of space between your car and the one in front of you
• Check your tires and tire pressure monthly to ensure you'll have good traction on slippery roads
• Make sure you have plenty of windshield washer fluid
• Keep your gas tank at least half full at all times, in case you have an emergency
• Get or make an emergency car kit
