What is salting?

Road salt is applied to roads and sidewalks to address snow or ice buildup.

As rain falls and snow melts, water levels and flows in rivers and streams in Vaughan will likely be higher than normal this week. The City encourages you to avoid these bodies of water as these weather conditions can result in higher water levels, fast-flowing cold water and slippery or unstable banks.
