Be a Neighbourhood Hero This Winter: Become a Snow Angel

With the temperatures cooling and winter around the corner, the City of Windsor is looking to recruit volunteers to help our most vulnerable citizens when winter finally arrives. Registration is now open for our Snow Angels volunteer snow removal program! 

Not only is snow on walkways and stairs a potential hazard to those with limited mobility, but it can also make it difficult for service providers like police, fire and ambulance; mail carriers; and meter readers to do their jobs safely and efficiently.

Interested in Becoming a Snow Angel?

As a snow-shovelling volunteer, you can make a difference for residents who are not able to get outside and clear their steps and walkways when wintry weather leaves snow in their path. The Snow Angels program matches volunteer snow shovellers from the community with seniors and persons with physical disabilities living in Windsor.

Volunteers must be 15 years of age or older, which means the program is a great option for high school students to help others in our community and round out their 40-hour community involvement requirement at the same time. The City will even provide volunteers with the shovel if needed! Registered volunteers will also be entered into a draw to win an iPad or one of two $50 Recreation Gift Cards that can be used towards community centre programs, facility rentals, and swimming. 

To register as a volunteer, contact 311 or use 311 Online by visiting CityW.ca/RegisterSnowAngelsVolunteer to complete an online application. Upon application, you will be provided with a voucher to present to Windsor Police Service, which will cover the cost of obtaining your Vulnerable Sector Check. Program details are also available on our Snow Angels web page.
