The Public Works Department is responsible for the sanding, salting and plowing of approximately 300 kilometres of municipal roads, with the exception of summer only maintained roads (seasonal). There are six plow routes. Winter control equipment and manpower is available on a continuous basis, 7 days a week, to respond to any winter event. It is the objective of the Public Works Department to conduct its operational activities in an efficient and effective way, so as to provide safe driving conditions on all roads owned and maintained by the Township.
