RE:

SNOW PLOW SERVICES

Dear Band Members,

It has been brought to my attention that many Indian Brook community members are having challenges
with Sipeknekatik snow plow services. I wanted to advise that we have two separate crews servicing all
Indian Brook Driveways.
Sipeknekatik housing department are responsible for plowing all Seniors and Disabled community
members driveways. The housing department did advise it will take an estimated eight hours from when
snowfall stops to complete this entire list. This means, if the snow stops at 8:00 am all driveways on this
list will be serviced by or before 4:00pm. The housing department did advise our snow plow crew will
start with driveways down the meadows (Eagle Nest Road) and work their way to the other side of Indian
Brook (Poplar) by the end of the eight hour period. If you have a medical appointment or an emergency,
please contact Michael Paul at 902 805 0155 to have your driveway serviced immediately.
Sipeknekatiks Operations and Maintenance crew are responsible for plowing all main roads, community
buildings, and driveways that are not on the priority list. After speaking with our entire team they did
advise it could take up to three days after snowfall ends to plow all driveways not identified on the priority
list and community buildings.
Providing snow removal services is a new endeavour for Sipeknekatik, and we appreciate your patience
and understanding as we work through our implementation phase.

Sincerely,

Nathan W. Sack, Director of Operations
