Schedule "A" to By-Law No. 67-2025
Revised October 14, 2025
Town of Bancroft
Winter Maintenance Policy
The purpose of this policy is to adopt guidelines for winter maintenance operations in the Town of
Bancroft utilizing approved budgets, current equipment, ministry regulations, policies and
procedures adopted by Council to facilitate consistent winter operations, seven days a week.
The winter maintenance routes have been formulated for maximum efficiency and to ensure
consistent approaches to winter maintenance are carried out. Equipment operators are allocated to
each of the four (4) identified routes utilizing one designated piece of equipment per route.
Parking lot and sidewalk maintenance will be completed in conjunction with regular winter
maintenance operations, as required, for plowing and sanding under the direction of the Public Works
- Operations Supervisor, their manager or their designate. This includes winter maintenance and
snow removal in the downtown area as required, and as staff and additional equipment are available
to complete this task, throughout the season.
During freezing rain, ice storms or harsh weather conditions, staff shall maintain main roads only, with
critical roads providing access to schools and hospitals to be given priority consideration, as required.
In the event of a declaration of a "Significant Weather Event", only highway maintenance will be
performed and ONLY to the level deemed safe by the Supervisor, Manager or Designate under these
significant weather conditions. Once such storms have passed and the declaration is ended, regular
maintenance of all roads will commence as scheduled.
A "Winter Stand-by Schedule" is in place to ensure a minimum number of staff remain available at all
times to meet minimum maintenance standards for the municipality as described in the Municipal
Act, 2001. Call-ins for staff on stand-by shall be the responsibility of the Public Works - Operations
Supervisor, their manager or designate and staffing requirements will be determined based on
observed and documented needs. Winter maintenance routes shall be staffed each weekday starting
on the first Monday in November each year from 6:00a.m. to 2:30 p.m. or as required by call-out at
all other times. An overnight operator will also be assigned to the Connecting Link and downtown
area every night during the winter season.
All winter maintenance operation inquiries should be directed to (613) 332-3331 during normal
working hours. After hours emergency calls should be made to the same number where calls will be
triaged and dispatched for an appropriate response.
It is the intent of the municipality to utilize other Town owned equipment throughout the season to
supplement the winter maintenance operation based on identified needs. Route operators shall be
responsible for completing and filing all required documentation daily. This documentation includes but is
not limited to daily vehicle inspection reports, equipment diary and winter maintenance route log sheets.
Minor equipment repairs such as, but not limited to, the replacement of cutting edges, oil changes,
lighting repairs and cleaning shall be the responsibility of the operators and completed under the
direction and supervision of the mechanic. All plowing equipment is to be returned to the municipal
garage full of fuel and sanding aggregate at the end of each shift, so it is ready for next use.
Seasonal contractors are responsible for the initial plowing and sanding of lanes and roads described
in this policy. They are called in by the Public Works - Operations Supervisor for plowing and sanding
applications at the Supervisor's discretion, based on identified needs and minimum maintenance
standards. Town staff may be responsible for additional plowing or snow removal after a storm in
addition to roadway widening and sanding of some lanes and roads on an as needed basis throughout
the winter season.
