City urges caution during winter storm

BRANTFORD, ON – A winter storm warning has been issued for the City of Brantford with additional snowfall amounts of 10 to 20 cm expected today February 16, 2025. City snow clearing operations are ongoing and will continue as needed throughout this weather event. To learn more about how we keep the city moving during a winter event, visit www.Brantford.ca/WinterControl.

Drivers are urged to use extreme caution while operating your vehicles to ensure you get to your destination safely. Parking your vehicle in driveways, both during the day and overnight will greatly improve the ability to provide effective snow removal operations. Please stay well back from snow removal equipment and give City crews the room needed to safely perform their difficult task.

Again, we strongly encourage residents to please park their vehicles off the street whenever possible during the weather event. This will allow City plow trucks to service roadways, sidewalks and bicycle lanes more effectively, especially in residential areas. In addition, we advise that when residents are shovelling their sidewalks that they place snow in the same direction that the plow travels. In general, that will be to the right of the driveway when looking outside your front door. 

Emergency Shelter

If you, or someone you know, is in immediate need of emergency shelter, please call SOAR Emergency Intake Services at 1-888-621-0034 available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Everyone is encouraged to seek shelter. Learn more at Brantford.ca/EmergencyShelters.
