Clarington covers Bowmanville, Courtice, Newcastle and a large rural area of farms and hamlets. Contractors handle growing subdivisions in town and long rural driveways and farm lanes outside it, where wind can drift snow back in quickly.
We connect Clarington snow plow operators and snow removal companies with licensed Ontario brokers who write this business.

Local Snow Facts: Clarington
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 Municipality of Clarington requires property owners to clear sidewalks to full width within 24 hours after snowfall ends and to salt or sand slippery surfaces; otherwise it clears and bills the cost plus a $50 administrative fee. The Municipality also clears sidewalks on certain arterial, crossover and school crossing routes, which supplements rather than replaces owner duties.
City plowing. Main roads and emergency routes are cleared first; residential streets are cleared once snow stops or primary routes are under control.
For contractors. There is no street parking 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. year-round and none during snow events, with ticketing and towing. A Senior Snow Clearing Program covers sidewalks and driveway windrows for seniors and residents with physical disabilities.
Municipal rules and service levels change. Confirm the current bylaw with the municipality before relying on it.
