Snow Removal Risks in Courtenay
Main street businesses. Storefront walkways and small lots see steady foot traffic, which raises slip and fall exposure. See slip and fall liability.
Hills and grades. Sloped driveways and streets make ice control and truck handling more demanding. See Salting and sanding insurance.
Occasional heavy storms. Snow can arrive in bursts, and properties not set up for it can see sudden demand. See Seasonal snow plow insurance.

Local Snow Facts: Courtenay
Snowfall. Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the nearby Comox station record an average of about 51 cm of snowfall a year, with about 3 days a year bringing 5 cm or more of new snow.
Snow on the road. The City of Courtenay asks residents not to shovel snow onto roads and to pile snow on their property, not on the sidewalk or roads.
City plowing. Roads are cleared in order: main roads (arterials, major collectors, emergency facilities, bus routes and the downtown core), secondary roads (minor collectors, steep hills and school zones), local roads, then cul-de-sacs and lanes.
Municipal rules and service levels change. Confirm the current bylaw with the municipality before relying on it.
