Local Snow Facts: Chilliwack
Snowfall. Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the nearby Agassiz station record an average of about 52 cm of snowfall a year, with about 3 days a year bringing 5 cm or more of new snow.
Sidewalks. The City of Chilliwack requires all owners of real property, residential and commercial, and/or tenants to clear the sidewalk adjacent to their property by noon the day following a snowfall (Highway and Traffic Bylaw). Stratas must clear sidewalks adjacent to their common property.
Snow on the road. The City tells residents not to shovel snow onto the street.
For contractors. Residents are asked to park off street where possible so plows and sanders can pass.
Municipal rules and service levels change. Confirm the current bylaw with the municipality before relying on it.
