When a major snowfall hits Winnipeg, your commercial property can’t afford to be inaccessible. With average snowfalls of 110cm annually and temperatures dropping to -35°C, Winnipeg businesses need more than basic snow clearing; they need professional winter property management that understands prairie weather patterns and commercial liability requirements.
At Whiteout Group, we’ve spent over 15 years mastering winter property maintenance across Winnipeg’s diverse commercial landscape, from downtown office complexes to industrial facilities in Transcona. Our systematic approach combines rapid response protocols with specialized equipment designed for Manitoba’s challenging winter conditions.
Snow and ice create significant liability exposure for commercial property owners. Under Manitoba’s Occupiers’ Liability Act, businesses are responsible for maintaining reasonably safe premises. If someone slips and falls on your property, you are held responsible. At Whiteout Group, we understand the critical importance of keeping commercial properties safe and accessible during the harsh winter months in Winnipeg. Our commercial snow removal services are tailored to meet the unique needs of businesses, ensuring that your premises remain safe and operational even in the harshest weather conditions.

When winter strikes, maintaining accessibility and safety on your commercial property becomes paramount. Luckily, our team is dedicated to keeping your business running smoothly, no matter the weather. We provide complete winter property management designed specifically for Winnipeg’s business district challenges, from the Exchange District’s narrow access points to the industrial parks in North Kildonan.
