Actually the ground snow load in Vancouver is higher than saskatoon (believe it or not!)
Though that said having a pictched roof is better... you could do a gazebo instead of a trellis... or a sloped trellis, you don't need much slope. you want to remove the water that melts from the snow, that is what causes the problems more than the snow.
