Snow Removal Schedule

Please see the roads page for full details on the policies and procedures for snow removal in the Town of Blackfalds.

In order to assist Town crews with effective snow clearing, we ask that all residents follow these guidelines:

• Keep the streets clear of vehicles during plowing. 
• 'No Parking' signs will be placed 24 hours before snow removal to allow time to move vehicles off the street. 
• Vehicles that are not moved will be towed.
• If you plan to be away for an extended time, you are required to move any vehicles to off-street parking.
• Keep sidewalks clear of ice and snow within 48 hours of snowfall.
