Apply the Lethbridge rule to the property

Before shovelling into a convenient pile, confirm the city’s placement rule and make sure the pile will not block a sidewalk, sightline or drainage path.

Properties with two street edges should verify both sidewalks. Downtown or commercial areas can have shorter service expectations.

Before a major storm, reopen the official municipal page instead of relying on a bookmarked summary from a previous year.
