Georgian Bluffs plows ready; roadside parking off-limits Nov. 15

The Township of Georgian Bluffs says its 2026-27 winter operations plan is ready to go, and it's asking residents to keep vehicles off the roadside starting Sunday, Nov. 15.

In a media release Monday, the township said it maintains 877 lane kilometres of road and 12 kilometres of sidewalk each winter, using nine plow routes and three sidewalk routes. Road plowing typically starts at 3 a.m., and the road routes take about five hours, followed by sidewalks. The township does not provide 24-hour plowing.

What the township is asking residents to do:

• No roadside parking from Nov. 15 to April 15. Vehicles left on the road may be fined or towed so plows can work, the township said.
• Keep snow off the road. Don't push or blow driveway snow onto the road or into culverts.
• Put carts at the end of the driveway, not on the road or sidewalk, ideally on the far side of the driveway in the direction plows travel.
• Clear around hydrants where there's one nearby.
• Give plows and graders plenty of room, and slow down in winter conditions.
• Keep kids away from roadside snowbanks, and have 72 hours of supplies at home in case of a storm.
