What trigger do BC stratas use for snow dispatch?
Most contracts use a written trigger — commonly 2cm accumulation or freezing-rain forecast — with on-site SLA documented in the service agreement.

Common questions
What strata councils ask
Do you prioritize fire lanes and entrances?
Yes. Priority routes are mapped during onboarding so life-safety paths and main entries are cleared first on every event.
Can snow be bundled with year-round grounds maintenance?
Yes. Westmark offers annual contracts that include shoulder-season grounds and winter snow under one vendor and one COI.
