Following the first snowfall of the season, City crews are now rolling out snow and ice clearing operations.
According to the City, trucks and sidewalk machines have been deployed to clear roads and sidewalks, de-icing and traction materials are also being used on priority routes, intersections and hills.
The operations will continue into the afternoon and overnight.
On Friday, crews began seasonal closures at a number of parks and outdoor civic facilities, including Masich Place Stadium.
The gates at the entrances to Connaught Hill are closed to vehicles and the outdoor public washrooms at Duchess and Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Parks are also closed.
