Snow Removal

Winter conditions can affect both pedestrians and motorists. The main objective of the department during the Winter season is to properly manage snow and ice conditions to allow residents to move efficiently and safely on sidewalks, parking lots and roads within The Nation 

The municipality is responsible for snow and ice control, including spreading sand and salt, and clearing snow from roads and sidewalks. Ahead of major snowfalls, the team closely monitors weather conditions and develops an action plan. This plan may include patrolling roads or dispatching winter maintenance equipment to specific areas. 

Because weather patterns vary across regions—and each snowstorm brings its own unique challenges—response times can differ. Prolonged or extreme snowfalls may slow operations despite the team’s best efforts. The timing of snow clearing depends on both the severity of the storm and the specific conditions in each area, which makes it difficult to provide exact timelines for service. 

For safety reasons, it is forbidden to push, move or throw snow on the street, on the sidewalks or on the shoulder of the highway, as described in By-law No. 12-2014. 

The Municipality will cover the cost to replace mailboxes damaged by the snow plough wing or any part of the snow plough vehicle, to a maximum of $50. For more information, refer to By-Law No. 122-2013.

Salt Management Plan

Sand and salt are mixed to keep the roads clean and safe.  Given the environmental concerns regarding road salt, The Nation Municipality has developed this Salt Management Plan. This will address growing concerns about the effect road salt is having on our natural environment and, at the same time, continue to provide for road safety by better managing our use of salt.
