Get Your Snowplow Flags
Opt-in Snowplow Flag Program
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.
Not All Roadways are Our Responsibility
The MD is responsible for range roads, township roads and subdivision oads. Alberta Transportation is responsible for clearing and maintaining all provincial highways within our borders.
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.
Download your Snowplowing Agreement.
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.
