Street sweeping

Street sweeping activities will begin in April. To ensure that sand and gravel are adequately removed from City streets residents, property owners and businesses are encouraged to sweep sand and gravel from sidewalks into street gutters prior to the program getting underway. The program begins with the downtown core and Marysville.

Once those areas are done, the sweeper does the neighbourhoods in the following order: Forest Crowne, Chapman Camp, Lower Blarchmont, Upper Blarchmont, Townsite and then the areas alongside Gerry Sorensen Way.
