I'm not one who is ready and waiting for the first snowfall there are some who are, including city workers at various levels. Mark Beare, director of infrastructure operations, said teams last year were somewhat reactive when the snow was late in coming. To counter that teams will be more proactive with primary snow and ice clearing responsibility and a secondary redeployment activity if it's a milder winter.

The snow removal budget for the 2024-25 season is $66 million which will cover a staff of about 600 members who will be out working 24-7 as soon as the snow starts.
