Snowfall accumulation, snow density, humidity, fluctuating temperatures, wind velocity and direction, along with the time of year, all influence the City’s response to snow events. The City uses a priority-based system for street clearing, determined by street classification and traffic volume. Street clearing operations always begin with Priority 1A Route, which includes key streets, sidewalks, and walking paths to ensure safe and efficient mobility for all. In emergency situations, snow removal equipment may be redirected as necessary to support police, fire, or ambulance response vehicles.

Residents can stay informed about progress by visiting snowmap.brandon.ca, which regularly updates the status of streets, sidewalks and paths, as well as back lanes.

Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure’s Hydrologic Forecast Centre is advising the public of potentially hazardous ice conditions on rivers, lakes and drainage ditches provincewide as seasonal freeze-up begins. While the ice may appear normal, it can be very thin and may not support people or heavy objects like snowmobiles and vehicles. Thickness is inconsistent and unpredictable due to recent temperature fluctuations. Activities such as walking, skating, skiing, sledding and snowmobiling on rivers, lakes, floodways, retention ponds or drainage ditches could be hazardous and should be avoided. The quality of river ice within communities is also uncertain. Residents living near waterways should take extra precautions to keep children and pets off the ice.
