Town of Ponoka

Town of Ponoka snow and ice control crews are busy sanding roadways on Priority 1 and 2 routes. Crews are also sanding and clearing snow on sidewalks adjacent to Town-owned properties, as well as on walking trails and park furniture (benches, picnic tables, etc.) in Town parks and throughout the trail system.

Motorists are encouraged to slow down and drive for winter conditions. To report an icy or snow-covered intersection, back alley, or sidewalk that may need attention, please submit an online service request by clicking here. Or you can phone the Town Office at 403-783-4431 where Town staff can help fill out the online form for you.

Please note that Town winter operations crews work in conjunction with the Alberta Ministry of Transportation and Economic Corridors, which is responsible for snow and ice control on Highways 2A and 53 in Ponoka. Inquiries related to snow and ice control on these roadways can be directed to their contractor Main Roads at 1-877-875-3263.

Please Clear Snow and Ice from Sidewalks Bordering Your Property

Ponoka citizens are reminded to please help keep our community safe by ensuring sidewalks that border your property, including the section of sidewalk in front of your driveway are clear of snow and ice.

By keeping sidewalks clear of snow and ice, you are helping protect the safety and well-being of your neighbours and fellow citizens in Ponoka. 

Clearing sidewalks that border your property within 48 hours after snow or ice has been deposited is a requirement under the Town of Ponoka Community Standards Bylaw #384-17 and can result in fines when necessary. When shovelling, residents are asked to please only deposit snow and ice onto your own property – not the roadway or someone else’s property. This is also a requirement under the Bylaw.
