The Record published my letter on this subject recently. https://www.therecord.com/opinion-story/...-the-snow/
I remember as a child growing up in the Town of Greenfield Park on Montreal's south shore, now a part of the City of Longueuil, that after a snow storm at least one sidewalk on my residential street would be plowed within a day after the storm. What's more, a snowblower truck would eventually come by and blow all of the snow left at the side of the road by the snow plows onto the front lawns of the houses along the street. Do any of the communities in Waterloo Region even own a snowblower? I don't know what the state of snow clearing is in Longueuil these days, but I am sure that my town was not as rich as Waterloo Region when I was growing up.
