Snow removal in Calgary, AB
Book local snow removal in Calgary
In Calgary the sidewalk in front of your home is your job, and the clock starts when the snow stops. Chinooks can melt a snowfall within a day, but the meltwater often refreezes at night into hard ice, so clearing promptly and down to the pavement matters more here than in steadier climates. Corner lots have twice the sidewalk to keep clear.

What winter looks like in Calgary
Calgary's winter is shaped by chinooks, warm westerly winds that can melt snow in a day before the cold returns. The result is a cycle of snow, melt and refreeze that leaves sidewalks and driveways icy, and snow can fall well into spring.
Typical snowfall. Calgary's airport averages about 129 cm of snow a year (Canadian Climate Normals 1981-2010). Source: Environment and Climate Change Canada, Canadian Climate Normals 1981-2010.

Snow removal in Calgary: FAQ
The City requires property owners and occupants to clear the public sidewalk or pathway bordering their property within 24 hours after a snowfall ends.
The 24-hour rule still applies, and melting snow often refreezes overnight into ice that is harder to remove. As general advice, clear the snow first and put down sand or ice melt where meltwater collects.
Calgary's airport averages about 129 cm of snow a year, based on Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1981-2010 Canadian Climate Normals.
You set the price. Shovler shows a minimum offer for your property and the snow depth, and a higher offer usually gets accepted faster. Your card is only charged after the job is done.
