From Plows to Patrollers: Behind the scenes with the Winter Maintenance teams

We’ve got snow in the forecast, and we thought this would be a good time to peek behind the scenes and meet the people who clear our roads in the winter. Heavy snow can cause dangerous road conditions, and there is a highly dedicated team of plow operators and patrollers who make our roads safer. The services they provide ensure that first responders can get to an emergency, and hydro crews can fix broken power lines. They're a fascinating group, and we're excited to introduce you to them and how they make it happen.You can stay informed on local weather events and sign up for Alert Waterloo Region.
