Trusted Professional Snow Shovelling Service in Toronto | Polar Ice

Toronto winters are picturesque, but they also bring heavy snowfall that poses real challenges for homeowners and businesses alike. Snow-covered sidewalks, driveways, and entryways aren’t just unsightly—they quickly turn into slipping hazards, reduce accessibility, and can even lead to city fines if left uncleared. While shovelling snow yourself might seem like a quick fix, anyone familiar with Toronto winters knows the truth—it’s exhausting, time-consuming, and sometimes even dangerous. That’s where Polar Ice steps in.

At Polar Ice, we specialize in professional snow shovelling services throughout Toronto—keeping your property safe, compliant, and fully accessible all winter long.

Why Snow Shovelling Matters in Toronto

Snow isn’t just inconvenient—it carries real consequences:

  1. Safety Risks: Ice and snow buildup increase the risk of slips and falls, often leading to injuries.
  2. Health Concerns: Shovelling snow is physically demanding and can trigger back strain or even heart issues, especially in older adults.
  3. Legal Responsibility: Toronto bylaws require property owners to clear sidewalks within 12 hours after snowfall ends—failure to do so can result in fines.
  4. First Impressions: For businesses, a blocked sidewalk or icy entrance creates a negative impression on customers and visitors.


Polar Ice helps you avoid these risks while keeping your property safe, compliant, and worry-free all season.
