The Township of Brock is responsible for plowing, sanding and salting all roads and bridges following winter weather events.

If a road has not been cleared, you can contact us and we can help.

Significant Weather Event

As per the Ontario Municipal Act, a municipality may declare a significant weather event when a weather hazard, either forecast or occurring, has the potential to pose a significant danger to users of the roadways in which they have authority. This declaration suspends the standard timelines required for municipalities to meet their winter maintenance objectives.
Declarations may be the result of:
• Significant snow accumulation during a 24-hour period
• High winds leading to blowing snow and large snow drifts
• Freezing temperatures and ice formation that occurs without warning from the weather forecast
During significant weather events, roads and sidewalks are deemed in a state of repair until the declaration has ended. This does not mean a reduced level of service or a road closure this is simply to notify the public that caution is to be observed due to inclement weather and that it may take longer than usual to bring the conditions of the roads back to a state of repair.

For further information on the declaration of significant weather events follow the link below :

Sidewalk Maintenance

We clear designated sidewalks in urban areas of the Township. This includes snow removal and salting. We prioritize sidewalks in the commercial core of urban areas as well as routes to local public schools.

My Mailbox was Damaged by the Snowplow

We will replace mailboxes that are damaged by a direct hit from the snowplow. Please report the issue and we will inspect the damage. If your mailbox was damaged by snow from the plow, we will not replace the mailbox.

CN Police want you to Stay Safe this Winter

Following these simple tips can help keep you safe when you encounter train tracks this winter:

Plan ahead and check the weather forecast before travelling—not only for your current location, but also for your final destination. If conditions deteriorate while you're on the road, stop at the nearest town or rest area and wait until it's safe to continue driving.

Reduce your speed when road conditions are poor. Always slow down well in advance of a railway crossing. The more time you have to react, the better chance you have of avoiding a collision.

Avoid distractions when approaching railway crossings turn off your radio and heating fans so you can listen for trains. Reduced visibility and sounds from a storm can make it more difficult to see and hear if a train is coming. Roll down your window—especially if it’s frosty or foggy—and look both ways before crossing the tracks.

Look for railway warning signs and signals snow may cover train tracks at a crossing, making them look like the road. Look for warning signs and other indications that there is a railway crossing ahead so you can prepare to stop, especially when driving at night.

Use winter tires they have treads designed to grip ice and snow, so you will be less likely to slide on the road or into the side of a train. All—season tires can begin to lose their traction when the temperature drops below 7°C.

Don’t drive impaired alcohol and drugs such as marijuana reduce your ability to pay attention, react quickly and make safe driving choices.

Remember "any time is train time". Be rail—smart this winter: Look. Listen. Live
