A snow-removal operation in Montreal and its 19 boroughs was nearly complete Monday morning after a winter storm brought nearly 20 centimetres of snow to the area last week.
The job initially kicked off last Thursday following New Year’s Day celebrations, as the city didn’t want to interfere with residents’ plans during the holidays.

As of Monday morning, the city reported that snow removal was 98 per cent complete. The Anjou, Lachine, Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie and Sud-Ouest boroughs are among those where work has already wrapped up.
