Snow Removal Risks in Huntsville
Seasonal and vacant properties. Cottages and second homes are often cleared while the owner is away, so nobody is on site to report a problem. See Seasonal snow plow insurance.
Resort and hospitality properties. Hotels, rentals and resort businesses need entrances and parking cleared early, with guests unfamiliar with icy conditions. 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.

Snow on the road. The Town says not to shovel, blow or plow snow onto a public roadway, which is illegal under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act.
City plowing. Crews start main routes at 2 to 3 inches and local roads at 3 to 4 inches, targeting main roads within 6 to 12 hours after snowfall ends and all other roads within 12 to 16 hours.
For contractors. Overnight street parking from midnight to 6 a.m. is prohibited on Town roads from November 1 to April 15. Homeowners are responsible for clearing windrows.
