Snow removal in Quebec City, QC

Get your Quebec City driveway and sidewalk shoveled

Quebec City gets serious snow, and clearing it means working around steep streets between Upper and Lower Town, exterior staircases on older plexes, and tight driveways in older neighborhoods like Limoilou and Saint-Roch. The City maintains streets and sidewalks, but residents clear their own driveways, walks and cars, and they may not push snow from their property into the street or onto the sidewalk without a permit.
