Snow plowing of private driveways is completed by appointment and will only be provided if work is not required on public roads. Click here for a snow plow agreement.

Snowplow flags are $30 (plus GST) each and can be purchased at the County Administration office after a snow plowing agreement has been completed. Driveways will be plowed for a maximum of 30 minutes per flag with the County’s one-ton pick-up truck. Additional time will be charged at $60 (plus GST) per hour.

Residents wishing to have their driveways plowed with a grader will be required to pre-pay for the service at the cost of $150 (plus GST) for a maximum of 30 minutes.

All parcels of land in the County supporting a residential, commercial, recreational or industrial development with a primary access onto a developed public road right-of-way must be assigned a rural address by the County, and such address shall be posted in accordance with Bylaw B305/17.
