City of Kitchener declares snow event starting at 9 p.m. on Dec. 23

The City of Kitchener has declared an official snow event. This means residents have until 9 p.m. Dec. 23, 2022, to remove their parked cars from city streets.

The parking ban will remain in effect for 24 hours - until 9 p.m. Dec. 24. It may be extended if needed.

During a snow event, the City's tag-and-tow process takes effect. Residents are prohibited from parking cars on City streets at any time to allow for safe and efficient snow clearing. Vehicles can be ticketed $80 or be towed if a winter maintenance operator is unable to get down a City street. Overnight parking exemptions are cancelled during snow events.

Take extra care while traveling this weekend as roadways may become snow packed and slippery and utility outages may occur.

Sign up to be notified when a snow event has been declared, cancelled or extended, and get a link to the Getting Around online map, or follow the City of Kitchener’s Facebook and Twitter accounts.
