After a snowfall event, Public Works crews begin clearing snow and ice from County-owned roadways on a priority basis. It can take between 8 and 12 hours to clear priority roads, and about four days for all County-managed roads to be cleared (depending on accumulation). A larger or continuous snowfall event may extend the time necessary to clear snow from all local roads.

The County maintains range roads, township roads and subdivision roads. Public Works crews work to the best of their collective ability to clear roads quickly and safely following a snowfall event.

Unfortunately, the County cannot accommodate calls requesting snow removal. The priority is to clear the County's road network as efficiently and quickly as possible. Please drive in accordance to the conditions and allow for extra drive time.

Please note that Alberta Transportation is responsible for clearing all provincial highways.

 

It may seem harmless enough — but when you push snow across a road surface into the opposite ditch or directly onto roads, you put motorists at great risk. Vehicles that encounter ridges or piles of snow on the road can easily lose control.
