Emergency Vehicles Take Priority
Storm Drains
We expect a warming trend with rain as we get into the weekend and it is at
this time that we need residents to help out by clearing storm drains in
front of their properties. Residents can call the City to enquire about the
location of storm drains. For snow melt prep we are servicing the drainage
pump stations twice per day right now. Once we get away from dealing with
snow the crews will begin to check drainage culverts and watercourses to
ensure they are as free flowing as possible and we will have crews around
town clearing blocked CB's. Public Transit
Transit updates are available by going to
