Please Help Keep Our Community Safe

Please help keep our community safe by ensuring sidewalks that border your property, including the section of sidewalk in front of your driveway, are clear of snow and ice.

Keeping sidewalks that border your property clear of snow and ice is a requirement under the Town of Ponoka Community Standards Bylaw and can result in fines when necessary.

When shoveling, residents are also asked to please avoid depositing snow and ice onto the roadway and properties other than your own. Shoveling snow onto your own property is not only good for your grass when it melts in the spring, it is also a Bylaw requirement.
