City of Brandon Initiates City-Wide Snow Clearing Operations

Brandon, MB - As of 2:30 p.m. today, the City of Brandon has received approximately 15 cm of snowfall, triggering a city-wide plowing operation to begin tonight, Dec. 10, at 12 midnight.

Snowfall accumulation, snow density, humidity, fluctuating temperatures, wind velocity and direction, along with the time of year, all influence the City’s response to snow events.

The City uses a priority-based system for street clearing, determined by street classification and traffic volume. Street clearing operations always begin with Priority 1A Route, which includes key streets, sidewalks, and walking paths to ensure safe and efficient mobility for all. In emergency situations, snow removal equipment may be redirected as necessary to support police, fire, or ambulance response vehicles.

Tentative Snow Clearing Schedule

The City’s Public Works Team has released a preliminary schedule for snow clearing over the coming days, aiming to finish by Sat, Dec. 20. Please keep in mind that these plans may change. Updates will be posted daily at 2 p.m. on the City’s social media during the snow clearing event.

Residents can stay informed about progress by visiting snowmap.brandon.ca, which regularly updates the status of streets, sidewalks and paths, as well as back lanes.

• Plowing on streets will start with the P1A route at midnight tonight, then continue through other priority areas before moving into residential neighborhoods.
• Sidewalks will also be cleared beginning at midnight alongside street work.
• Clearing of multi-use pathways is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. tomorrow (Dec. 10).
• Back lane plowing starts at midnight in the core area, stretching from 1st to 18th Street between Victoria Ave. and Pacific Ave.
