During winter, the positioning of your bins can cause a lot of headaches for Public Works crews dedicated to snow removal operations. It’s your responsibility to make sure your bin is properly positioned, even after snow removal operations have been completed. To make their job easier, here’s what to do: - Place your bin in your driveway, NOT on the shoulder, sidewalk or street.
- Always position your bin with the wheels facing backwards (towards your residence).
- If you have several bins, place them at least 18 inches apart; otherwise they will NOT be collected.

This is essential training for the safe and effective extrication of victims trapped in vehicles during emergencies. The team reviewed several safety protocols, as well as using tools such as “jaws of life” on a disabled vehicle. Firefighters also practised glass management and vehicle stabilization methods. The exercise demonstrated their commitment and preparedness to deal with any emergency, reflecting their dedication to community safety. | | | Municipal Taxes: 1st Instalment Details | | | | Hydro-Québec Webinar
