Thank You for Your Patience: Brock Township Operations Update Excess Snow Removal

he Township of Brock would like to extend its heartfelt gratitude to all residents for their continued patience and understanding during recent winter snow events. We recognize the challenges that these heavy snow conditions can bring, and we appreciate your cooperation as we work to address them.

Our operations crews have been doing an outstanding job, and their efforts will continue with the same dedication and commitment to service. However, it's important to note that all operations are subject to the prevailing weather conditions. The safety of our residents and staff remains our top priority, and our teams are continuously monitoring the situation to ensure we are addressing any concerns swiftly and effectively.

Currently, staff are assessing the situation and have started compiling a list of priority areas that require attention in removing excess snow. Marydel subdivision and other critical areas in the Township are at the top of that list, and we are working to address these areas as soon as possible.

Additionally, the Township has reached out to local and area contractors to assist with operations, ensuring that all resources are available to help expedite the process. We remain focused on providing efficient, timely service while keeping safety at the forefront.

While our crews are removing snow, residents should stay away from heavy equipment and keep particular attention on their children to keep them safe. These vehicles have blind spots that may prevent operators from seeing residents and cars.

Snowy days and cancelled school bus days often bring the urge to build snow forts. Snow forts should not be built in the boulevard portions of the road as they are dangerous. Plow operators cannot see children playing.

At a Special Council Meeting today, Council authorized the Director of Public Works to spend reasonable and needed funds from the Winter Control Reserve to achieve the removal of excess snow.

While crews are removing snow, residents should stay away from heavy equipment and keep particular attention on their children to keep them safe. There are lots of blind spots in these vehicles and residents and cars should stay well away from them.

Thank you again to all residents for your ongoing patience, together, we will continue to navigate these challenges and work towards a safer, more resilient community.
