Snow Removal Risks in High River
Main street businesses. Storefront walkways and small lots see steady foot traffic, which raises slip and fall exposure. See slip and fall liability.
Farm and acreage work. Many operators plow with tractors and loaders for neighbours and rural clients, which raises questions about how that equipment is insured. See farmers who plow snow.
Chinook thaws. Melt and refreeze cycles can turn cleared surfaces icy overnight. See Salting and sanding insurance.

Sidewalks. The Town of High River requires residents to clear snow and ice from sidewalks, walkways, parking lots and vacant properties within 24 hours of snow falling, and commercial property owners to clear their privately owned sidewalks, walkways and parking lots within 24 hours of a snowfall (Good Neighbour Bylaw).
Snow on the road. Town guidance says snow and ice from private property must be kept in your own green space and not pushed or plowed onto public streets or lanes.
City plowing. Priority 1 major roads and emergency zones are cleared within 24 hours of snowfall and Priority 2 intersections, hills and pathways within 48 hours, with residential roads as needed after that.
Municipal rules and service levels change. Confirm the current bylaw with the municipality before relying on it.
