Salt Spreaders in Regina, SK.
Regina is the windiest prairie capital — blowing-snow whiteouts close Trans-Canada Highway 6-8 times each winter and city streets drift hourly. 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 Government of Saskatchewan, Federated Co-op, Mosaic Potash, and University of Regina, which means our routes pre-treat Government of Saskatchewan's sites before residential bookings whenever a storm is forecast inside their shift change.
