Local Snow Facts: Ajax
Snowfall. Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the nearby Oshawa station record an average of about 102 cm of snowfall a year, with about 8 days a year bringing 5 cm or more of new snow.
Sidewalks. The Town of Ajax requires residents and businesses to clear sidewalks within 24 hours after a snowfall or ice forming, with fines applied to property taxes under the User Fees By-law. The Town maintains about 150 km of the 400 km sidewalk network.
City plowing. Primary roads are cleared first during active snowfall, then secondary roads, then residential streets.
For contractors. The Town has no town-wide windrow clearing program, so windrow clearing is the property owner's responsibility; a senior snow clearing application is available.
Municipal rules and service levels change. Confirm the current bylaw with the municipality before relying on it.
