Help support the snow and ice sector
Members of Landscape Ontario’s Snow and Ice Sector Group need your support to help establish a level playing field for snow and ice contractors across Ontario.
As you know, our industry has faced numerous obstacles for decades. Over the past few years, we have accomplished a lot and the time has come to use this momentum to work directly with the provincial government in order to:
These are critical objectives for us — which is why we have retained Daisy Group, a leading public and government relations firm to ensure we are successful.
Landscape Ontario, the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association, and the Snow and Ice Management Association of North America, along with a large group of contractors, have all contributed to a fund which has been set up to support this action.
We urgently request all contractors in the snow and ice sector to support this action with a financial contribution.
Your support, through a financial contribution, is urgently needed. Your contribution can be sent via e-transfer to etransfer@landscapeontario.com to support this ongoing effort. Please include the word "snow" in the message.
Your financial contribution at any level is very much appreciated.
Thank you!

As you know, our industry has faced numerous obstacles for decades. Over the past few years, we have accomplished a lot and the time has come to use this momentum to work directly with the provincial government in order to:
- Create an Act that will support the establishment of an Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) over snow and ice management, including enacting regulations regarding owners, site managers, and contractors;
- Change current Acts so owners and managers cannot transfer their responsibilities over to contractors;
- Change current Acts giving both owners and contractors legal liability protections if they have taken the required education and can demonstrate compliance with the established education and requirements; and
- Commission a detailed study of the industry and its ongoing problems to inform the best possible policy decisions for the government to enact.
These are critical objectives for us — which is why we have retained Daisy Group, a leading public and government relations firm to ensure we are successful.
