Burlington residents who can't clear the heavy ridge of snow a plow leaves at the end of their driveway have more time to get help this winter. The City of Burlington posted on X that registration for its 2026–2027 Driveway Windrow Snow Clearing Program is now open until Saturday, Nov. 21.

Sign-up had been set to close at the end of the day on Nov. 7, and the City's earlier post billed that deadline as residents' "Last chance to register!"

A windrow is the packed bank of snow pushed across a driveway entrance when a plow clears the street. Under the program, the City clears the windrow left at the end of a registered driveway after residential roads are plowed; it doesn't clear the rest of the driveway. The service is meant for residents who can't clear that snow themselves, and those who meet the City's age, disability and income criteria pay a reduced fee.

To register online, log in to a Live and Play account, open the Course Registration tab, choose Other City Services and select Windrow Clearing Program, then follow the prompts to register and pay. In-person registration is available at Service Burlington, on the main floor of City Hall at 426 Brant Street, as well as at the Burlington Seniors Centre and Tansley Woods Community Centre.

Details on the program and the online sign-up are at burlington.ca/windrow.
