Commercial snow and ice management in Peace River
Peace River is a town that sets its own snow rules. Its sidewalk clearing page says commercial downtown properties must clear sidewalks within 24 hours and residential properties within 48 hours, excluding Sundays and holidays. Owners clear the sidewalks adjacent to their property. The Town maintains certain sidewalks itself, and a Town map shows which ones those are.
The rules come from Bylaw 1834, which regulates and controls the removal of snow, and Policy P-32-78-B on snow and ice management. This page cannot confirm which sidewalks the Town maintains, so check the Town map before assuming responsibility for any stretch. Alberta's Occupiers' Liability Act addresses visitor safety on private premises. PWW coordinates service through its crew network; request a site quote for the property's sidewalks, access and snow storage.
