Be a snow
angel! Keeping sidewalks free of ice and snow can be very challenging for older
adults and people with limited mobility. As a snow angel, you can be good
neighbour by clearing snow for those who need assistance. All you have to do is
adopt a sidewalk and keep it clear when it snows. Watch for people in your
neighbourhood who could use help removing snow and lend them a hand. It’s also
a great opportunity for students to complete volunteer hours needed and to
exercise outdoors! Learn more: www.kitchener.ca/snowangels
