Commercial Snow Removal in Winnipeg, MB.
Winnipeg holds the coldest average winter temperature of any major Canadian city — blowing snow off the open prairie is the #1 callback driver. 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 Manitoba Hydro, Great-West Lifeco, Boeing Canada Winnipeg, and Winnipeg Health Sciences, which means our routes pre-treat Manitoba Hydro's sites before residential bookings whenever a storm is forecast inside their shift change.
