Snow Removal and Road Maintenance

The Village of Valemount provides snow and ice control operations durning winter months in order to maintain Village streets in a safe and passable condition. Snow clearing will occur during regular working hours with the accumulation of 7–10 cm of fallen snow from single storm or multiple events. Snow clearing operations commencing outside of regular working hours due to extremely heavy snowfall will occur at the discretion of the Chief Administrative Officer and Public Works Superintendent. It is expected that in winter, there will be situations when the immediate demand for snow and ice control measures will exceed the available resources of the Village. In order to maximize the use of the available resources, operations will be conducted according to the following priorities:

  1. Priority: Emergency Routes, including the main streets in the Village (5th Avenue and the Hwy 5 frontage road); and the street by the ambulance station.
  2. Priority:  The streets by both the secondary and elementary schools.
  3. Priority:  The remainder of the residential streets and the two alleys immediately to the North and South of 5th Avenue, between Birch and Dogwood Streets.
  4. Priority:  Residential alleys will only be cleared after all of the above have been cleared, sanded, and salted.
