Absurd as it may seem while we bask in the heat and humidity of an Ontario summer, the reality is clear: snow will soon be flying—and piling up. It’s inevitable. With that in mind, consider the following questions:
- Do you own or manage a commercial property in Guelph, Kitchener, or Waterloo?
- Have you secured a snow contractor for the upcoming season?
- When was the last time you reviewed your current snow contract and pricing?
If you answered “Yes” to the first but “Not so much” to the other two, take comfort—you’re halfway to a solution simply by identifying the gaps.
Winter is Coming (and Liability Comes With It)
Managing a commercial property during Ontario’s winter months is no small feat. Snow removal is a critical service, not just for convenience but also for safety and liability. Over the last few years, securing reliable, insured winter maintenance has become increasingly challenging.
In fact, many Canadian insurance companies have stopped providing coverage for contractors engaged in snow and ice management. At Landscape Plus, we experienced this firsthand in 2018 when, less than a month before our winter contracts were set to begin, we were informed that our policy was being canceled due to our involvement in snow removal.
This trend has left many property managers scrambling to find contractors with the appropriate insurance—essential to protect both parties from liability risks.
