Canadian Sports Trivia Answer Ronald J. MacDonald was the first Canadian to win the Boston Marathon. He won it in 1898, during only the second ever Boston Marathon. He was 23 years old at the time and defeated 24 other runners. Canadians have won the Men’s Open Division of the Boston Marathon 16 times, the last of which was Jerome Drayton in 1977.
SNOW REMOVAL Here’s how you can help... Be a good neighbour. Clear snow and ice from sidewalks as soon as possible after a snowfall to ensure that they are safe for all residents. Lend a hand to those who may not be physically able to shovel. Do not park on the street during a snowstorm or while snow clearing operations are underway. Parked cars make plowing difficult, and sometimes impossible. Keep children safe - don’t let them play in snow piles, or build snow forts in the snow banks at the side of the road. Snow plows have no place to push the snow except to the curb or shoulder of the road. Sometimes this happens just after you have finished shoveling. We appreciate this can be frustrating; however we ask your cooperation in clearing this snow without placing it on the roadway. If you hire a private contractor to clear your driveway, make sure the contractor does not push snow into the travelled portion of the roadway, or fill in sidewalks.

Pile snow on the right side of your driveway (when facing the road) if possible when shovelling. This helps reduce the amount of snow created by the snowplow at the end of your driveway. Remove snow from around fire hydrants on or near your property to enable quick access by emergency personnel if the need arises. Do not place your garbage cans on top of snow banks. If possible place them on your driveway near the edge of the road. The District thanks you for your co-operation!
