For the next Penticton snow event

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.

A corner address can have more than one frontage to clear or monitor. Business districts may also follow different winter operations.

A bylaw can stay the same while snow routes or operating practices change. Recheck current notices before acting.
