Municipality Asks Residents to Keep Roads Clear for Snow Removal

The Municipality of Inverness County is asking residents for their cooperation in keeping roads clear of parked vehicles during and following snowfall events to help crews safely and efficiently remove snow.

Snow removal equipment requires full access to roadways to properly clear snow and ensure safe travel for motorists, pedestrians, and emergency vehicles. Vehicles parked on the road can significantly slow down operations and may prevent crews from clearing snow.

The municipality thanks residents for their patience and cooperation as crews work to maintain safe road conditions throughout the winter season.
