Winter Maintenance and Snow Removal

Depending on the weather conditions, winter road patrol is performed seven days a week from October 1 until April 1. The Municipal roads system is broken into four routes with each route taking roughly 8 to 10 hours to plow once.

Ontario Provincial Police and Emergency Services remind all homeowners when clearing driveways of snow not to pile the snow onto the travelled portions of the road or highway. It is unlawful and hazardous.

Sand (with salt incorporated) is available to Township of North Kawartha residents, to help you keep your property safe in the winter. No commercial businesses or contractors please.

You can find sand available at our Roads Department located at 10230 Highway 28, Apsley.  There is a pile placed to the north side of the entrance.

Sand is also available in South Burleighat the Wilson Park Community Centre, located at 66 Northey's Bay Road, Woodview, ON.

Please note that salt is not available.

Do not forget to bring your pail and shovel!

Stay safe, stay visible! Please keep your lights on while collecting sand and yield to Township staff and vehicles.
