Ponoka citizens are also reminded to once again please help keep the community safe by ensuring sidewalks that border your property are clear of snow and ice. By keeping the sidewalks adjacent to your property clear of snow and ice, Town officials say you are protecting the safety and well-being of your neighbours and fellow citizens in Ponoka.

When shovelling, residents are asked to please avoid depositing snow and ice onto the roadway and properties other than your own. Shovelling snow onto your own property is said to be not only good for your grass when it melts in the spring, it is also a requirement under the Town of Ponoka Community Standards Bylaw #384-17.

Keeping sidewalks that border your property clear of snow and ice is also a requirement under the Bylaw and can result in fines when necessary.

Town of Ponoka snow and ice control operations are conducted according to the Town’s Snow Removal and Ice Control Policy to improve safety for motorists and pedestrians and to support the operation of emergency services. The Town’s snow and ice control operations are conducted within the Town’s annual snow removal budget which is based on average winter snowfall conditions over the past 10 years and is approved by Town Council.
