Snow-clearing operation to resume in Montreal after the holidays

The recent snowfall throughout Montreal will be removed — but only after New Year’s Day.

Montreal launched an island-wide snow-removal campaign in November, the city’s earliest snow-clearing operation ever, and round two will get underway on Thursday morning, January 2.
