Winter Weather Response - Sunday November 9, 2025

The City of Hamilton remains under a Special Weather Statement issued by Environment Canada.

The Roadway Maintenance team has been closely monitoring this system over the past week and crews began salting and preparing roads at 11:00 p.m. Saturday evening to ensure safe travel conditions ahead of the snow.

Roads are plowed based on priority. The first priority is main routes and escarpment crossings. The second priority is collector roads and the third priority is neighbourhood streets.

The City's Snow Plow Tracker is live and can be viewed here: Plows

The City of Hamilton’s Snow and Ice By-law No. 03-296 requires property owners and/or occupants to clear snow and ice within 24 hours after the end of a snow event from:

• sidewalks adjacent to their property
• roofs that overhang the City sidewalk

Help a neighbour, friend or family and assist those who are not able to clear the snow. 

As part of the City’s goal to achieve Vision Zero in Hamilton, the City is reminding residents to drive with caution, especially in winter weather. For winter driving safety tips, please visit: hamilton.ca/winterdriving
