What Bylaw C-1166 says
Section 37 says a person shall not place, or permit to be placed, snow, ice or other material removed from private property onto the highway or other public property. Section 37.1A applies the same rule to snow removed from a commercial or industrial property.
Snow placed in violation must be removed within 24 hours, or the City may remove it at the violator's expense. Section 38 says sidewalk snow may not be put on the adjacent roadway, except to the extent that moving it to private property is impractical.
Fines in the City
- Snow from private property onto a road: $100
- Snow from a commercial or industrial property onto a road or public property: $1,000
- Snow onto another property: $100
- Sidewalk snow onto the road: $100
- Failure to clear the sidewalk: $100
County of Grande Prairie rules
The County says it is illegal to deposit snow, ice and other material onto roadways, right-of-ways, ditches or property other than your own. Violations can bring a $100 fine, an order to clean up, and an additional $200 fine for failing to clean up.
Where the snow can go
Snow can be stored on your own property or hauled away. Learn about snow hauling or request a quote. Property owners should make a no-road-deposit rule part of any snow contract.
