Want to know what roads have been recently plowed?

Want to know where the Graders are at after a snowfall?

 

The RM has ConX Wireless (Text2Car) GPS in its Graders which have been used for internal reporting until recently when they released a public interface!

Click here to view a map showing recent snow removal 

Helpful tips in viewing the map:

  1. Map is updated every hour
  2. Map has been upgraded to a high definition, zoomable map
  3. There are various colors on the map which show how recently it was plowed:
    • Within 0-4hrs
    • Within 4-8hrs
    • Within 8-16hrs
    • Within 16-24hrs
    • Within 24-48hrs
    • Within 72hrs
  4. If no data is shown (a map isn’t populated) then there has not been any snow plowing within the last 72hrs, check back again later.
  5. Highway #1 will not be shown on this map when plowed , as it is done by the Ministry of Highways.
  6. The RM of Eyebrow plows the north correction line and the RM of Caron plows the east correction line.

Highways

Wondering how the Highways are? Check the Highway Hotline at https://hotline.gov.sk.ca and if you want to know where the plows are be sure to turn ON the Track My Plow layer (as shown below)

Roads

Clearing roads is priority #1.  Employees will begin clearing snow as soon as it is safe and practical to do so following a snow fall.

The RM clears all-weather roads and the hamlet of Parkbeg.  This is typically completed in 2-3 days after a snow fall.  Heavy, large snowfalls may take longer than 3 days to clear.

Please be patient!

Remember to be mindful of RM roads that run into another RM, as our section may be plowed but the other RM may not be out yet.

 

Custom Snow Removal

The RM does custom snow removal such as farm/acreage yards and driveways, bin yards, etc. Custom Snow Removal is done AFTER the roads have been cleared.

2025 Rates

  • Ratepayers – $200/hr
  • Non-Ratepayers – $300/hr
  • Minimum of an hour charge per visit.  Time is charged to/from the RM Shop.

How To Request Custom Snow Removal

Contact the RM Office.

The request may be refused if the driveway or yard is deemed to be too narrow/small for equipment to safely conduct the work or if there are too many obstructions (ornamental, vehicles, etc).
