Snow has arrived in Calgary and the annual Snow Angels campaign is back in action, encouraging residents to support each other by shovelling a neighbour’s sidewalk.
Becoming a Snow Angel is simple: just adopt a sidewalk and keep it clear whenever it snows. Calgarians are encouraged to look out for neighbours who might need help with snow removal and lend a hand.
Snow Angels are especially valuable to older adults, individuals with limited mobility and anyone else who might need temporary assistance keeping sidewalks clear of snow.
Each year, The City of Calgary helps Calgarians recognize Snow Angels with a printed certificate. These certificates can be downloaded from calgary.ca/SnowAngels or requested through 3-1-1 via the web, mobile app, or phone. Snow Angels and those they help are also encouraged to share their stories on social media using the hashtag #yycSnowAngels.
Since the program launched in 2004, thousands of Calgarians have participated as Snow Angels, fostering a spirit of community and mutual support.
