More information on these responsibilities is available in the City of Brockville’s by-laws
As winter temperatures shift, icicles and snow can quickly form on rooftops and eaves, creating both a winter wonderland look and a hidden safety hazard. Falling ice and heavy snow pose risks to pedestrians, neighbouring properties, and public areas below.
City officials remind property owners that, under the Care and Use of Streets (By-law 024-2022) and the Property Standards (By-law 078-2015), they are responsible for removing hazardous snow and ice, especially where it could fall onto sidewalks, entrances, or other public spaces.
Residents are encouraged to check roofs and overhangs regularly, remove dangerous snow and icicles promptly, and hire qualified professionals when conditions are unsafe.
More information on these responsibilities is available in the City of Brockville’s by-laws.
By taking action, property owners help keep the community safe, welcoming, and enjoyable all winter.
