Winter is just around the corner and the City of Saskatoon is making sure crews are ready for when the snow falls.

Beginning on Wednesday, October 8, snow plow operator training will begin on high-speed sections of Idylwyld Drive and Circle Drive on weekdays, outside of rush hours, between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. and again some afternoons between 1:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. The training will continue until Tuesday, October 28.

One pilot truck will follow two slow-moving snow plows to alert drivers of the slower hazard ahead. Drivers are reminded to use caution when passing the convoy.

Sanding trucks may also be operating on rural, gravel roads as operators train for the upcoming snow season.
