Strathcona County is committed to providing efficient services and maintaining safe conditions for residents throughout the winter season. We use a priority approach to manage snow and ice on County roads and trails.

Residents have an important role in supporting winter operations. This includes keeping sidewalk clear and moving vehicles during snow clearing in residential areas.
