The Victoria check after the plow comes through

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.

On a corner lot, the side-street sidewalk can matter as much as the front. Businesses should verify whether the city applies a separate clearing expectation.

The safest source during a storm is the municipality’s current winter page plus live signs or declarations.
