Snow removal in London, ON
Snow shoveling in London, on demand
London sits in the snowbelt east of Lake Huron, so a single squall can bury driveways in Old North, Byron or Hyde Park while another part of the city sees much less. The City clears residential sidewalks after a set accumulation, but driveways, walkways, steps and the windrow left by the street plow are up to residents, and downtown property owners must clear the sidewalk in front of their business.
