Winter Season Tips & Tricks

Managing snow removal is crucial for homeowners and building managers in Canada, where heavy snowfall can lead to safety hazards and property damage. Effective snow management involves not only timely removal but also strategic planning to ensure accessibility and safety for residents and visitors. According to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, snow and ice can cause slips and falls, making it essential for property managers to establish a clear snow removal policy (CCOHS, 2023). Utilizing professional snow removal services can also mitigate risks, as these companies often have the necessary equipment and expertise to handle severe winter conditions efficiently (Snow & Ice Management Association, 2023). Homeowners should also consider investing in snow removal tools like shovels or snow blowers, and establishing a routine for clearing walkways, driveways, and roofs to prevent ice buildup.
