Frequently Asked Questions

Qualifying homeowners or primary renters who are seniors and/or people with physical disabilities can apply for the Snow Removal Financial Assistance Program to help with costs of hiring a service provider to remove snow from their driveways, windrow and/or walkways that best meet their individual needs.

A windrow is the snow left at the end of your driveway after a snowplow has cleared a road.

Applications received after April 15, 2026 may not be considered.

The first 75 qualifying applicants will receive a grant of $150.

Qualifying applicants will be issued a cheque following the review and processing of their application. Payment should be expected within four to six weeks.

The program is limited to 75 qualifying applicants on a first come, first served basis.

Once you have hired and paid for a snow-clearing service provider, you may submit your application with proof immediately. Applications received after April 15, 2026, may not be accepted.

A printed receipt or proof of payment from the service provider with your home address is required.

You may hire any private contractor that best meets your needs.
