Snow plowing is a consistent activity throughout the winters at all snow prone areas. It is carried out by house owners and landscape contractor staff of the Regional Municipality to ensure that roadways are kept safe and available in a passable condition.

These plowing priorities are set as per the distinct regions and trends of travelers; for instance, during a snowstorm, snow plowing is carried out continuously on the primary routes to make them passable on priority. Following this, some of the secondary routes are plowed followed by intersections and turning lanes with high-volume traffic. The common trend of snow plowing lists down that the first 15 meters of busy streets from all yield and stop signs are to be ploughed on both sides of the street. This is then done in all other streets once the plowing in primary and secondary streets is over.The landscaping Oakville staff carries out the task of clearing the snow accumulation of 4 cm or more from all the designated sidewalks, trails, parking lots, stairs and boardwalks right within the 48 hours of heavy snowfall. ...
