Snow Angels is a social marketing campaign that was created by the City of Calgary and has been adopted by the City of Yellowknife, and now the City of Elliot Lake.
Snow Angels are individuals who shovel a neighbour’s sidewalk/driveway just to be a good neighbour. A Snow Angel can be especially helpful to older adults, people with limited mobility and anyone else needing help, even on a temporary basis.
The City does not provide snow shoveling services to individual residents.
We do NOT have a list of Snow Angels to match with individuals.
This program is free to use and is completely driven by community involvement.
| How to be a Snow Angel |
| Individual volunteers:
To be a Snow Angel, all you have to do is adopt a neighbour’s sidewalk/driveway and keep it clear when it snows. Watch for elderly people or individuals with mobility issues in your neighbourhood who could use help removing snow and lend them a hand. |
