Ottawa's airport averages 231.9 cm of snow a year and 16.0 days with 5 cm or more, so the trigger depth in a contract matters. Ontario's contract guidance says agreements covered by its Consumer Protection Act must be in writing.

Questions about hiring in Ottawa

What should a seasonal snow contract say?

Ontario's guidance says agreements covered by its Consumer Protection Act must be in writing. Check that yours gives the start and end dates, the snowfall depth that triggers a visit, how soon after a snowfall the driveway is cleared, whether walkways, salting and the plow ridge at the end of the driveway are included, and the price and payment terms.

How much snow does Ottawa get?

Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1991–2020 normals for Ottawa (Airport) give 231.9 cm of snowfall a year, with 16.0 days of 5 cm or more on average. Most falls in December, January and February, so a contract with a 5 cm trigger can still mean several visits a month in midwinter. Environment and Climate Change Canada (source, opens in a new tab)

How do I compare snow-removal quotes?

Line them up on the same terms: trigger depth, any cap on visits or total snowfall, response time, what is cleared, and who pays for damage to lawns or curbs. Ask how the company handles a missed visit, and prefer one that gives you a written contract and a way to reach it during storms.
