The MD offers an opt-in, paid Snowplow Flag Program for residents who want their private driveways cleared after a snowfall.

To participate, purchase an MD flag for $42.50 (or half price for seniors) at the MD office in Slave Lake, Flatbush sub-office, or Smith Library.

Purchase Your Snowplow Flags

Snowplow flags can be purchased during regular business hours at the main MD administration office in Slave Lake, the sub-office in Flatbush, and the Smith Community Library.

Each snowplow flag costs $42.50 plus GST each ($21.25 for seniors), and is good for one instance of snow clearance. Payment can be made by cheque, Interac or cash. Remember that you also need to submit a snowplowing agreement at the time of purchase.

Submit a Snowplowing Agreement

To purchase snowplow flags and participate in the program, you need to complete a Private Driveway Snowplowing Agreement. This document certifies that you understand and agree with the program parameters.

Place a Flag to Request a Clearing

When you require your property to be cleared of snow, just place a purchased flag at the end of your driveway to indicate that the service is requested. Under normal conditions, this service is fulfilled 3 to 4 days following a snowfall. Please keep in mind that municipal roads take priority.
