A winter storm warning is in effect for Brantford today, with an additional 10 to 20 centimeters of snowfall forecasted throughout the day. City crews are actively clearing roads, with operations continuing as needed to maintain safety across roadways, sidewalks, and bike lanes.
The City of Brantford is urging drivers to exercise extreme caution, as snowy and icy conditions could lead to hazardous travel. Residents are also asked to park vehicles in their driveways, both during the day and overnight, to help snowplows clear streets more efficiently.
In addition, the City reminds motorists to stay well back from snow removal equipment to ensure the safety of road crews. For those clearing their sidewalks, officials advise shoveling snow in the same direction as the plows—typically to the right of their driveway when facing their home—to avoid snow being pushed back onto sidewalks.
For individuals seeking shelter during the storm, SOAR Emergency Intake Services is available 24/7 at 1-888-621-0034, providing immediate assistance year-round. More information can be found at Brantford.ca/EmergencyShelters.
