Local Snow Facts: Yorkton
Snowfall. Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the Yorkton station record an average of about 120 cm of snowfall a year, with about 6 days a year bringing 5 cm or more of new snow.
Sidewalks. The City of Yorkton clears the sidewalks shown on its Sidewalk Plowing Priority Map and some downtown locations; no property owner sidewalk clearing requirement was found on City pages.
Snow on the road. The City states it is illegal to push snow from your property onto the street, and that residents hiring contractors should ensure snow is not pushed into the travelled roadway or used to fill in sidewalks.
City plowing. Under the Snow and Ice Control and Removal Policy, first priority routes should be cleared within approximately 36 hours, second priority within approximately 72 hours and residential routes within approximately 108 hours. Residential streets are cleared once accumulation reaches 4 inches.
For contractors. All contractors must buy a snow dump permit to enter the City snow storage area, with 2025/2026 fees from $150 (half ton truck) to $1,500 (tri-axle semi), sold at Public Works, 85 York Road East, cash or cheque only. Snow route parking bans last 72 hours.
