The snow is back! After a brief break in snowfall, Clarington is once again covered in a fresh layer of snow, with more expected to fall tonight and all day tomorrow (February 16). Due to the significant snowfall expected, we have made the following adjustments to municipal programs and services:

• Drop-in and registered programs are cancelled, and the Fitness Training Centre will be closed tomorrow (February 16).
• Facilities will remain open for user group rentals; however, we encourage participants to connect with their program providers for updates and cancellations.
• All municipal recreation facilities, recreation centre lobby spaces and Clarington Library, Museums and Archives will remain open to the public on February 16.
• All municipal recreation facilities and programs remain open tonight (February 15).

Crews are working hard ❄️

Our snow-clearing crews are already out clearing roads as the snow continues to fall. As a reminder, roads are plowed in a priority sequence, with main roads and emergency routes cleared first. Please be patient with our snow-clearing crews as they work to keep up with the snowfall.

Help us help you 📢

We’re working hard to clear priority roads, trails, and sidewalks—you can support our snow-clearing efforts:

• Remove your parked vehicle(s) from the road. Temporary parking passes and on-street parking permits are not valid during a snow event or for the duration of the cleanup. If you park on the street during a snow event, your vehicle may be ticketed or towed.
• Stay off the roads and avoid unnecessary travel. If you need to drive, remember to drive according to the road and weather conditions.
• Stay a safe distance back from the snowplows and never pass the plow.
• Clear snow and ice from around your hydrant and exhaust vents from gas-powered appliances if you are physically able to do so.
• You must clear the snow bordering your property within 24 hours of the end of the snowfall.
• Please do not report unplowed roads until at least 12 hours after the end of the snowstorm. If you need to report a winter road maintenance emergency like drifting snow, icy roads or downed trees, call 905-623-3379 ext. 2661. For after-hours road emergencies, please call Oshawa Fire Dispatch at 905-433-1234.
