Property owners now have 12 more hours to shovel their sidewalks after a snowfall. This week, council changed the 24-hour limit to 36 hours to give homeowners -- especially seniors -- more time to clear snow and ice after a storm. The bylaw also applies to ice and snow on roofs overhanging sidewalks. The bylaw came into effect three years ago, but this will be the first winter it will be enforced. In Waterloo and Kitchener, residents have 24 hours to shovel sidewalks.

D: so MORE snow in 36 hours will be easier for retireees?

OR once it has solidified a bit more?


This year, for K-W, I will be using lotsa snapshots to highlight my 'Hall of Shame'.

Last year, with the heavy snowfall, there were many large businesses that never bothered to clear snow. I cursed a lot...

They included 7-11 and the Beer Store.

This year they will get a post and a call to the city.
