Who Plows My Road?

While colour of your road name sign determines who owns it and provides regular maintenance, this may not be the case when it comes to winter snowplowing. The County and Province have an agreement in place to share snow removal services to save costs and time required for cleanup after storms.

The County provides snow removal services on the following roads. If you have a snowplowing comment or concern on one of these roads, please contact the County Public Works Office at 902-897-3175 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
