Madawaska Valley gets Behind Bill for Snow Removal and Waste Vehicle Safety

The Township of Madawaska Valley is lending its support to a bill from Carlow/Mayo which looks to improve safety for waste and snow removal vehicles.

Bill 171 would give both the same protection as police, fire and emergency services.

It would give legislation with more teeth and a harsher penalty for passing or driving unsafely around snow plows and garbage trucks.

The bill could also further extend to public works and road crews.
