And just like that, it feels like winter! We get lots of questions about snow clearing this time of year, so today, on the first "real" snow fall, we're sharing some stats and facts from behind-the-scenes!❄️

Did you know our crews are responsible for clearing 107 km of road, 27 km of sidewalk, and 14 cul-de-sacs? 🚙

Or that cul-de-sac clearing requires specialized procedures and equipment to clear, so , due to priority routes, they are typically the last residential streets to be cleared?

If you are on the road today please drive carefully and leave some extra time to get where you're going while our crews work hard to clear the streets 🫶

🧙‍♀️ Is your costume ready? We're looking forward to seeing lots of spooky trick-or-treaters at Smithers Fire Rescue on Halloween night between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m.

❌ As a reminder, fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed in the Town of Smithers unless a permit has been obtained from the Fire Chief.

This bylaw is in place to keep everyone safe and to prevent potential fire hazard. And we've heard from some four-legged "members" of the community who appreciate it, too (*cough* Brad) 🫶

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Ideas were bouncing off the walls at the Prestige Hudson Bay Lodge Smithers this week during the Regional Council and Board Orientation!

Hosted by the Town of Smithers, new Councils from across the region came together to learn from keynote speakers about:
🏛️ Roles & responsibilities of Council
📈 Finance & budgeting
🚨 Emergency preparedness
📣 Communications & engagement
📝 Governance & legal considerations

It was fun to get together with leadership from as far as Vanderhoof in the east, and Granisle in the North, to our neighbours just 15-minutes away in Telkwa. There was a real mixture in experience, some elected officials had served four or more terms, whereas others were brand new to the role, but everyone learned something!

And as a bonus, hosting the two-day event in Smithers meant we got to show off our Town and support local businesses while we did!

Did this morning's snow get you excited for winter or make you want to crawl back into bed? ❄️

The first snowfall is the perfect time for a few reminders to help our snow-clearing crews do their work safely and efficiently:

🛻 Park off the street when possible: If you're able to, park your vehicles off the street or in designated parking areas. This helps plows clear the roadways and reduces the risk of parked cars being buried or damaged by snow cast by plows.

🏀 Put away outdoor equipment: Store items such as basketball hoops or hockey nets off the roads for the winter.

👀 Stay Informed: Keep an eye on local announcements and updates regarding snow-clearing and parking restrictions.

Snow clearing is a top priority for our crews and we appreciate your help 🫶 Please remember that clearing roads takes time. Our crews focus on high-traffic areas first, so it may take a while before they reach your street.

We can't wait to see your costumes 👻🐈‍⬛🤡
