Clearing sidewalks = looking out for your neighbour
Be a good neighbour this winter. When we get snowy or icy weather, keeping our sidewalks clear is one of the best ways we can look out for each other. Clear walkways make it safer for everyone, especially kids walking to school, seniors, and anyone with mobility challenges.
✅If your property borders a sidewalk, please aim to clear it within 48 hours after the snow stops.
✅ Shovel snow onto your own property, not out onto the street. With the exception of businesses in the downtown core or areas where no other option exists (per Section 8.1 of the Community Standards Bylaw), snow cannot be shoveled onto roadways. Snow pushed onto the street creates challenges for crews and machinery including:
❗️Causing water to pool along sidewalks, driveways and preventing effective snow/ice removal
❗️Causes rough road conditions and hazards for vehicles
✅ Sprinkle some sand or ice-melt for extra traction. We supply a sand mixture to the public for free! The sand bin is located in the parking lot behind the Eleanor Pickup Arts Centre.
What about the Town’s sidewalks?
Our Parks crews are deployed when snow accumulations reach 3 cm on our sidewalks. We are responsible for clearing sidewalks adjacent to Town owned property. Just like our roadways, our sidewalks are also cleared based on priority (view the map here: www.draytonvalley.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Schedule-F.pdf)
Thanks for being a good neighbour!

🏠 Residential Snow Clearing
Over the next few days, we’ll be posting a series of reminders on snow removal operations, what residents can expect and what you can do to help us all get through the winter season!
Residential snow removal gets underway once priority 1 & 2 areas have been completed.
✅ Notifications will be posted on the Town’s website and social media channels when snow removal occurs in residential quadrants.
✅ Watch for “No Parking” signs in your neighbourhood and move your vehicles from the streets. This allows our crews and equipment to move quickly and safely through these areas. Parking is acceptable in residential areas overnight between the hours of 7:00 pm and 7:00 am.
🚫 Vehicles left on the street may be ticketed and towed, as they slow things down for everyone.

Today, we pause to remember the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who defended our freedoms.
This morning, Mayor Nancy Dodds along with Deputy Mayor Ryan Fynn laid a wreath at the Cenotaph on behalf of the Town of Drayton Valley, in honour of all who have served and continue to serve.
The flags at the Civic Centre have been lowered to half-mast to mark Remembrance Day and honour the memory of all Canadians who have served our country.
We will remember them.
