Snow Clearing

Residents of Deer Lake are asked to obey laws prohibiting the placement of snow on town roadways. Town crews can encounter difficulties because people are using snowblowers and other means to remove snow from their property. Unfortunately in doing so, residents often leave the snow on the street. When this occurs, it impedes traffic, creates a safety hazard for people walking and creates extra costs for snowclearing. Anyone found doing this will be reported by the town to the RCMP for the laying of charges and prosecution under the Highway Traffic Act.
