Magnesium Chloride in Grande Prairie, AB.
Grande Prairie sits in the Peace Country snowbelt — annual snowfall regularly exceeds 1.7 m and storms blow in off the Rockies without warning. Far-north Alberta averages 175 cm annual snowfall with sustained –35 °C cold; snow blower service is a year-round small-engine market. Winters here are among the harshest in Canada — sub-zero temperatures hold for weeks and storm totals routinely top a metre over a season — and lots are large and drive-times between properties dominate routing. The local economy leans on Northwestern Polytechnic, Weyerhaeuser, Encana, and Aquatera, which means our routes pre-treat Northwestern Polytechnic's sites before residential bookings whenever a storm is forecast inside their shift change.
