Make a Difference this Winter: Become a Snow Angel
Even though we have only had a bit of snow so far, the time is now to put out a call for community Snow Angels. 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 winter weather leaves snow on the ground. Would you like to join the team?
How Snow Angels help:
The Snow Angels volunteer snow removal program matches volunteer snow shovellers from the community with seniors and persons with physical disabilities living in Windsor. 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; delivery services; and meter readers to do their jobs safely and efficiently.
Volunteers must be 15 years of age or older, which means the program is a great way for high school students to help others in our community and round out their 40-hour community involvement requirement at the same time. As part of the program, the City provides volunteers with the shovel if needed.
You could be a winner:
Registered volunteers will also be entered into a draw to win an iPad or one of two $50 Recreation Gift Cards, which can be used towards community centre programs, facility rentals and swimming, as well as at Adventure Bay Family Water Park presented by WFCU Credit Union.
To register as a volunteer, call 311 or use 311 Online and select "Snow Angels Volunteer Registration" to complete an online application. Program details are also available on our Snow Angels web page.
