How to Apply for Mississauga's 2024/2025 Driveway Windrow Snow Clearing Program

Registration for the City of Mississauga’s Driveway Windrow Snow Clearing Program is now open until Friday, November 1 for those who need help clearing their windrow. The program supports Mississauga residents who are 65 years old and older and persons with physical disabilities.

A windrow is a pile of snow that can be left at the end of a driveway after a street has been plowed. Within 36 hours after the end of a snow storm, registered participants will get a three-metre space cleared in their driveway windrow so that a car can get in and out safely.

The program runs from Friday, November 22, 2024, to Monday, March 24, 2025, and is available to 750 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost is $200 (non-refundable) for the season or free for those who meet financial assistance criteria.

Apply online or in person

Submit an application online or in person at any of the City’s community centres, the Mississauga Seniors’ Centre or the Paramount Fine Foods Centre Sportsplex.
