After an excellent summer, it is time to start thinking about what's coming next - snow!

Already in the forecast, volunteers are needed to sign up for our Snow Angel Program.

Not sure what a Snow Angel is? It is a volunteer who offers their time to assist one of our residents in need of snow removal from their sidewalks and driveways.

Whether you are landscaping, building a new fence or deck, or simply planting a garden, disturbing the ground on your property can cause damage to a buried utility. Some utilities are buried mere centimetres below the surface.

Submit your Locate Request online here.
