City of Kitchener declares snow event starting at 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 15, 2025

The City of Kitchener has declared a snow event. Residents have until 11:59 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 15, 2025, to remove their parked cars from city streets.

The parking ban will remain in effect for 24 hours. Overnight parking exemptions are cancelled to allow for snow clearing.

During a snow event, the City's tag-and-tow process takes effect. Residents are prohibited from parking their cars on city streets at any time when a snow event has been declared by the City. The ticket for parking on the street during a snow event is $80. Vehicles can also be towed if a snow operator is unable to get down a city street and contacts enforcement staff on patrol.

During a snow event, you can use our Getting Around map to see which roads have been recently serviced: kitchener.ca/GettingAround. The Getting Around map will be activated during a snow event and will remain live for 24 hours after the declaration has ended.

A significant weather event also remains in effect as we continue maintenance activities to respond to the snowfall accumulation. During a significant weather event, it may take us longer to complete snow clearing operations due to the amount of snow and other weather conditions. While a significant weather event is active, we ask that residents limit unnecessary travel and use extra caution when travelling or outdoors.

Sign up to be notified when a snow event or significant weather event has been declared or cancelled, or follow the City of Kitchener’s Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) accounts.
