Ice and Snow Removal Tips

Since Environment Canada is saying the Kingston area could experience snow as early as tonight, it’s a good idea to brush up on some ice and snow removal tips. If you rent your home, always make sure to read over your lease to see if you or your landlord are responsible for the snow removal. Your landlord may only allow certain methods, for example you may be able to sand but not salt the driveway.

There are a few different methods you can choose from when clearing away snow. Head over to the This Old House article below to see which method suits your needs best, as well as find out what you should do before it snows.

Canada Remembers

The Government of Ontario has a list on their website of all the places this Remembrance Day where we can pay respects to the men and women, both past and present, who have served our country. In Kingston, ceremonies will be held on November 11 at the Royal Canadian Legion, the Cross of Sacrifice located at McDonald Park, and the Cataraqui Cemetery. We also have the option of watching ceremonies from home, both online and on TV.

Another way to participate this Remembrance Day is by donating to the Poppy Fund/Royal Canadian Legion. All donations go toward helping veterans and their families.
