Corner Brook Mayor Linda Chaisson says 2026 started out with a bang with the weather that came with it and she’s not sure how this will all filter out during the winter. On Bayfm with Dean Clarke, she says snowclearing crews are quite busy after the storm that hit during Christmas when a lot of staff were off. She says once workers book time off it’s hard to get people to come back to work but they were flat out. Chaisson says with 40-60 cms of snow in a short period of time, they managed to keep main streets open while side streets took some time, and they did what they could with what they had.
Chaisson says they received 112 calls from the public, 86 of those within the first 8 hours from people needing to get out for work or to get prescriptions. She says the big snow blowers are out and sidewalk blowers started this week so residents should notice a major cleanup in the city by next week. Chaisson says residents with snow clearing concerns should call 637-1666.
