Snow Clearing Procedure

 

If we happen to get a large heap of snow, below is a description and clarification of how it all gets cleared away.

 

• A pathway is first cleared through the parking lots to allow vehicles easy access to all exits.  This is done first thing in the morning and begins at the 3040 Building (north) because that's where the tractor is and moves to 3080 (south).

• Walkways and sidewalks are snow blown.  If the Property Manager has a set of helping hands the steps are cleared.  

• Once the majority of cars have moved from the parking lot, parking stalls are cleared.  

 

There is a limited amount of space on our property to move this snow out of the way.  When these spaces are full, the snow must be hauled off site.  We have a large complex  and we do try hard to make sure the parking lots and sidewalks are cleaned.

 

How you can help: 

If you have the ability or just like to shovel snow  (yes, there are those out there that like to shovel snow) don’t be afraid to clear off your step and maybe your neighbours'.  Every little bit helps!

 

Potential Hazards: 

To ensure this process goes  as smoothly as possible, there are a couple of areas where we can all help out. 

 

Extension Cords are imperative where we live.  However, when left outside or laying on the ground can be a hazard to the tractor and  snow blower.  The cord can get wrapped around the  auger.  Please ensure all cords are appropriately stored.

 

Door Mats are lovely in Spring and Welcoming in Summer, but during winter they are covered in snow, hard to see and can be easily damaged if not removed.  To ensure your mat is left intact please remove before a big snow storm.
