Snow clearing for seniors and disabled residents of Toronto

Snow clearing for seniors and disabled residents of Toronto

If you are a senior or disabled resident of Toronto, the City will clear snow from the sidewalk in front of your home in those areas where the service is not provided by machine.

The City of Toronto provides sidewalk snow clearing in most of Toronto, however, there are a few areas where equipment is unable to clear sidewalks due to insufficient sidewalk width for the plows, lack of boulevard space for snow storage, and on-street parking. Most of these areas are in the older, central parts of the city. 

A map showing the areas where the City provides sidewalk snow clearing can be seen on the website at http://www.toronto.ca/transportation/snow/sidewalks.htm

For seniors and people with disabilities living in areas where the City does not clear sidewalks, please contact the City of Toronto at 311. Note that the service applies to the sidewalk in front of your home only and does not include driveways or walkways leading to homes.
