Please move parked cars off the street
Guelph, Ont., March 10, 2023 – Snow plowing of all City streets starts at 3 p.m. on March 10 and will continue until all roads and sidewalks are plowed.
Roads take 24 hours to plow after the snow stops
Clearing roads of snow takes a full day after a storm has stopped. During that time, we start plowing main roads first, followed by secondary roads. Residential streets will be plowed last. Please wait 24 hours after the snow stops to submit a service request online.
Sidewalks and multi-use paths take three days to plow
Guelph’s 701 kilometres of sidewalks and multi-use paths take three days to clear. Stretched end-to-end, they’re the same distance between Guelph and Montreal. Please wait three days after the snow stops to submit a sidewalk service request online.
If a storm becomes a significant weather event, we’ll notify the community on our website and post the news on our Facebook and Twitter feeds. This means roads and sidewalks will take longer than usual to clear.
