Snow-clearing crews have been somewhat busy in the last recent while. Brent Froese, City of Portage la Prairie councillor, says work's still underway and explains the procedure for making their way throughout the city.

"After a big dump of snow we'll get emergency crews out, clear the main routes, and keep the traffic lanes clear," Froese explains. "Then the clean-up goes on for quite some time."

He adds the snow removal schedule for your street takes place on the day following your garbage pick-up day. Froese notes if you want your curb cleared of the white stuff you need to ensure your car is not parked there throughout that day.
