Questions, answered.
What is snow.ca?
snow.ca is Canada's national snow management platform — a single accountable operator that clears, salts, and hauls snow across 80+ Canadian cities in every province. You request a quote, we send back a firm number, our local depot crew shows up at the storm trigger. One contract, one invoice, one accountable property manager across every property in your portfolio. The platform handles bookings, GPS tracking, per-visit photo proof, insurance certificates, billing, and 24/7 bilingual storm-season dispatch. snow.ca is not a directory and not a marketplace listing third-party contractors — every service is performed by snow.ca-employed crews from local depots. The structural difference matters most for property managers with multi-city portfolios, hospital and retail compliance documentation, and any operator who needs the same SLA in Toronto as in Halifax.
Where does snow.ca operate?
snow.ca operates in 80+ Canadian cities across all 10 provinces, with on-call commercial dispatch in the 3 territories. Tier-A coverage — 11 cities with a full local depot, 24/7 storm-season dispatch, and full residential + commercial + municipal SLAs — includes Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Halifax, Québec City, Mississauga, and Brampton. Tier-B (19 cities) carries commercial + residential SLAs through a depot or partner-crew network. Tier-C and Tier-D (60+ additional cities) offer per-visit commercial dispatch and seasonal residential routes. French-language service is fully active across Québec (Montréal, Québec City, Laval, Gatineau, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Trois-Rivières) with Québec-based bilingual reps. Coverage maps and per-city details live at /cities.
How much does snow removal cost in Canada?
Residential single-visit pricing runs $79–$129 depending on driveway size, shape, and walkway add-ons. The residential seasonal flat-rate plan (12–20 storms covered) is $580–$960 — about 15–25 % cheaper per storm than pay-as-you-go for snowy cities (St. John’s, Québec City, Saguenay). Commercial properties price at $0.025–$0.055 per square foot per visit, contract-bound to a 2 cm SLA trigger. Condo and townhouse row pricing is per-door-per-visit ($4–$8). Roof clearing runs $450–$1,200 depending on pitch, total square footage, and fall-arrest setup. Hauling-and-disposal for downtown commercial lots adds $250–$500 per tandem-axle load to the municipal snow dump. Municipal route contracts are bid by tender through provincial procurement portals (MERX, SEAO, BC Bid, SaskTenders). All quotes are firm — no mid-season upsells, no surge pricing. Detailed rate guides by city and property type are at /resources/cost.
What makes snow.ca different from a local snow contractor?
A local contractor typically covers one city, owns 1–10 trucks, and runs 1–5 commercial accounts. snow.ca operates across 80+ cities with one consistent SLA, per-visit GPS-stamped photo proof that meets ADA / hospital / retail compliance, $5M general liability minimum (most local contractors carry $1–2M), one invoice and one contract across every property in your portfolio, and one named property manager who escalates issues directly. For a single-property, single-city customer with a good existing relationship, a local contractor can be equivalent. For multi-property, multi-city, multi-province customers — retail chains, hospital networks, condo management firms, national logistics operators — the structural advantages compound. No CoI requests bouncing between five sub-contractors, no winter-storm finger-pointing between regional teams, no quote variance across cities for the same property type. One platform, one accountability surface, one number to call when something goes wrong at 3 AM during a 25 cm storm.
Is snow.ca available in French?
Oui — snow.ca opère entièrement en français avec couverture complète au Québec et répondants bilingues sur les autres comptes nationaux. La ligne francophone (888-471-SNOW, option 2) est tenue par des représentants basés au Québec, 7 h à 23 h HE durant la saison hivernale (novembre à avril), et 24/7 pour la répartition d’urgence commerciale. Le portail client, les contrats, les factures, les rapports de preuves photo et les certificats d’assurance sont tous disponibles en français. Les équipes de dépôt à Montréal, Québec, Laval, Gatineau, Sherbrooke, Saguenay et Trois-Rivières sont francophones première-langue avec terminologie locale maîtrisée (déneigement, sablage, sel, saumure, glace noire).
