Winter in Regina is beautiful — but it’s also serious business. With around 100 cm of snowfall every year and snow often sticking around from October through April, homeowners spend nearly a third of the year dealing with snow and ice.
Keeping your driveway, sidewalks, and walkways clear isn’t just about looking tidy. It’s about safety, accessibility, and staying compliant with Regina’s snow removal bylaws.
In this guide, we’ll break down:
Why residential snow removal matters in Regina
Your legal responsibilities as a homeowner
Practical snow removal tips
When hiring a professional snow removal service makes sense
Snow-covered sidewalks and icy driveways are more than an inconvenience — they’re a real hazard.
Uncleared snow increases the risk of:
Slips and falls
Injuries to pedestrians, mail carriers, and visitors
Accessibility issues for seniors and children
Across Canada, thousands of people are hospitalized every winter due to ice-related falls.
Many of these accidents are preventable with proper and timely snow removal.
Keeping your property clear helps protect:
Your family
Your neighbors
Anyone who steps onto or walks past your property
In Regina, snow removal isn’t optional.
Homeowners are legally required to:
Clear snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property
Do so within 48 hours after a snowfall (24 hours in some downtown areas)
Failing to comply can result in:
Fines
Liability if someone slips and gets injured
Simply put: clearing snow is both a legal obligation and a personal responsibility.
Fresh snow is lighter and easier to remove. Don’t wait for it to get packed down or turn to ice. After heavy storms, clearing snow in stages can save time and effort.
Ergonomic snow shovels reduce strain
Snow pushers work well on flat driveways
Snow blowers are ideal for heavy snowfall
Always lift with your legs, not your back, and take breaks. Snow shoveling is physically demanding, especially in cold temperatures.
Improper snow placement can block visibility and create traffic hazards.
After shoveling, apply sand or salt to improve traction. Regina provides free sand–salt mix at designated community locations. Sand improves grip, while salt helps melt ice when temperatures allow.
Pouring hot water on ice or using heat devices can cause refreezing or surface damage. Stick to proven methods like shoveling and approved de-icers.
If you feel dizzy, overly fatigued, or short of breath — stop. Snow removal is not worth risking your health. When the job becomes too demanding, professional help is the safer option.
