Sidewalk Rules Differ Across Peel Region
Municipal sidewalk clearing rules are set city by city, which affects what property owners hire contractors to do. A few examples:
- Mississauga: The City of Mississauga clears all sidewalks once 5 cm or more has fallen: priority sidewalks within 12 to 24 hours and residential sidewalks within 24 to 36 hours after snow stops.
- Brampton: Under the City of Brampton Snow and Ice Removal By-law, owners and occupants must clear all snow and ice from the sidewalk in front of and beside their property by 11 a.m.
- Caledon: The Town of Caledon states that all sidewalk routes are to be plowed within 48 hours of the end of a significant winter weather event.
Each city page lists the rules and sources for that municipality. Rules change, so confirm with the municipality.
