The snow is all but gone, which means the sweepers are ready to come out.

According to Mike Avramenko from the City's Road Department, the sweeping season is ready to start early.

"Typically we start on the last Monday in April but due to the mild weather this year we're going to launch it on April 11th."

Once the sweepers are ready to go, neighbourhoods will be given notice to when their streets will be swept, so drivers can move their vehicles.

The early start means all streets could be done before summer hits.

"With good weather, we should be able to complete the entire city in between 6 to 7 weeks."
