Winter roads maintenance

Roads are cleared on a priority basis; for more information, including an interactive map of our roads priorities, please go to westkelownacity.ca/snow. If snow is in the forecast, please help our crews by parking off-street when it snows and for up to 48 hours after it stops snowing to ensure plows can clear your street efficiently and safely.

Recreational programs

Make the most of the holidays by enjoying some skating - check out our Holiday 2025 Public Skating Schedule, running from Dec. 22 – Jan. 4 or visit westkelownacity.ca/skating.
