Residents asked to clear snow and ice from sidewalks
With the arrival of winter, Ponoka residents are asked to please keep sidewalks that border their property clear of snow and ice. Keeping residential sidewalks shoveled helps protect others from slipping and falling.

The Town’s snow and ice control operations are conducted within the Town’s annual snow removal budget which is based on average winter snowfall conditions over the past 10 years and is approved by Town Council.
