Winter in Gatineau: living with the snowGuide · Seasonal

Snow removal, overnight parking, rinks and trails: what to know when the snow arrives.

When the snow falls

After a big storm, the City clears the main roads and bus routes first, then residential streets. The snow-removal page explains the order of operations and how to stay out of the crews’ way.

Overnight parking

In winter, overnight street parking is governed by a municipal by-law and a seasonal permit, and it can be banned during snow-clearing operations. 311 can answer questions about your street.

Enjoying the season

As soon as the cold sets in, outdoor rinks open across the city and the NCC grooms dozens of kilometres of cross-country ski trails in Gatineau Park. Check conditions before you head out.
