Winter and Snow

District of Sechelt crews, residents and businesses work together to help our community stay safe during winter weather conditions. The map below shows priorities of our roads and sidewalks in the they need to be cleared by snow.

Road Clearing

In preparation for snowfall, District of Sechelt road crews will prepare a brine solution that minimizes the effects of freezing. This procedure is applied to all roads no matter priority and can last up to 5 days. 

Snow is cleared in the following order of priority to ensure the safety of residents:

Sidewalk Clearing

The District of Sechelt is responsible for clearing snow and salting sidewalks in front of District owned properties and pathways.

Property and business owners in The District of Sechelt are responsible for the clearing of snow & ice in front of their properties as per Bylaw 516, 2012 section 43.

To allow snow plows more room on major and minor streets please avoid parking on the street in the midst of a heavy snowfall. 

As we are a small community remember to check on neighbours and elderly family members. Be prepared for an emergency. Keep an emergency kit and supplies in your home, office and vehicle.
