A practical Kelowna winter check

After a storm, separate the public sidewalk, private walk or driveway, street parking and the location of snow piles. One municipal program may not answer all four.

For corner and commercial properties, read the exact frontage and timing language; those are common places for exceptions.

Snow-removal programs are time-sensitive. Verify the live municipal instructions when a storm or parking event is underway.
