Snow removal
The Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula is responsible for road maintenance during winter months to ensure the safety of all our residents. Our staff is responsible for plowing snow and applying sand or salt for icy conditions on Municipal roads and parking lots and sidewalks.
The Municipality's winter maintenance period starts on October 15 and ends April 15 each year. Winter maintenance activities are carried out as per Ontario Regulation 239/02 and our Winter Control Handbook.
Mailboxes
The Municipality's policy on mailbox location, post size and replacement can be found within By-Law 2014-28. The By-Law also defines replacement of damaged mailboxes.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your mailbox is visible to all maintenance vehicles, including proper snow removal and brushing.
Protect your mailbox! If you do not use your mailbox during the winter, remove it including the post.
