❄️ Winter Road Maintenance in Rochon Sands ❄️
We’re here to help keep everyone moving safely all winter long!
Our Snow Removal Operator works hard to plow, sand, and manage ice on municipal roads.
Here’s what you can expect:
How We Prioritize
1️⃣ Main roads, hills & essential access routes
2️⃣ Residential streets & cul-de-sacs
3️⃣ Parking areas & public spaces
4️⃣ Trails & pathways
What Residents Can Do
A quick reminder
Snow removal on Sands Street (Highway 835 all the way to Rochon Sands Provincial Campground) is handled by Alberta Transportation — not the Summer Village.
We appreciate your patience during big snowfalls — we’ll be out there as soon as it’s safe and practical. Together, we’ll keep Rochon Sands winter-ready!
Our Snow Removal Operator works hard to plow, sand, and manage ice on municipal roads.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Plowing usually begins once about 7 cm of snow has fallen or if roads become slippery
- Most main roads are cleared within 24 hours after the snowfall ends
- Emergency and high-use routes are our top priority
- We do our best to minimize windrows, but some snow across driveways is normal
- Private driveways and walkways are the responsibility of homeowners

4️⃣ Trails & pathways
What Residents Can Do
- Please keep snow on your own property when shoveling
- Avoid piling snow on roads or blocking sightlines — safety first!
- If you can, give our operator a friendly wave! 👋

2026 - 2029 Summer Village of Rochon Sands Strategic Plan
Council would like to thank residents who took the time to complete the 2025 Your Voice, Our Future community survey. Your feedback played an important role in shaping Council’s Strategic Plan and helping to guide priorities for the coming years.
The Strategic Plan 2026–2029 establishes the Village’s direction for the next four years. It reflects what residents value most — our lake, our environment, our small-village character, and our strong community connection — while ensuring Council and Administration maintain responsible, transparent, and sustainable governance. It is a practical, measurable guide for municipal decision-making, resource allocation, and community priorities.
