Snow Removal in Vernon: what to know
Owners and occupiers must clear the sidewalk next to their property within 24 hours of snow or ice building up, even with a boulevard in between, under Traffic Bylaw #5600. Anyone facing unusual hardship can apply to the City for an exemption.

Source: City of Vernon: Traffic Bylaw #5600The City plows busy roads like 27th Street, 25th Avenue and Silver Star Road first, along with school zones and bus routes. Residential streets come next and can take up to 72 hours after the snow ends; lanes and cul-de-sacs are last.

Snow Removal in Vernon: common questions
Who can I hire for snow removal in Vernon?
Holler, the Okanagan's new app for booking background-checked local help, opens bookings in Vernon soon. Its Taskers will clear driveways, walkways, front steps and the sidewalk in front of your home, in and around Vernon, including Coldstream, Okanagan Landing, The BX, Predator Ridge and East Hill. That includes the sidewalk next to your property, which Vernon's Traffic Bylaw says must be cleared within 24 hours. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you the day booking opens.
How long do I have to clear my sidewalk in Vernon?
24 hours. Vernon's Traffic Bylaw requires owners and occupiers to clear the sidewalk next to their property, even with a boulevard in between, within 24 hours of snow or ice building up.
Will the City clear the end of my driveway in Vernon?
No. With more than 6,000 driveways, the City leaves driveway entrances to residents, and plows push snow to the right-hand side. Booking a Tasker after the plow has been by gets that snow cleared too.
Can I book snow removal after every snowfall?
Holler books one visit at a time, so book when snow is on the way or once it has landed, and choose the same Tasker again next time. Recurring bookings repeat on a set weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly day, so they do not follow the weather.
How early can a Tasker come?
Each Tasker sets their own hours, and Holler lets them offer start times from 6 am. You see a Tasker's open times before you book.
Do Taskers clear roofs?
No. Holler does not allow roof work or anything a step ladder cannot safely reach, so roof snow needs a roofing contractor.
