Snow Angels

Neighbours helping neighbours Snow Angels

Snow Angels are individuals who lend a helping hand by shovelling a neighbour’s sidewalk. A Snow Angel can be especially helpful to older adults, people with limited mobility and anyone else needing help—even on a temporary basis.

Each year The City helps residents recognize Snow Angels through a printed certificate.

Be a Snow Angel

To be a Snow Angel, 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.

Recognize a Snow Angel

  • Download and print a Snow Angel certificate and give it to your Snow Angel or,
  • Submit a 311 request via web, mobile app or phone to have a certificate printed and mailed to you. Give it to your Snow Angel.
  • Share your Snow Angel story on social media using #yycSnowAngels.

Thank you for recognizing your Snow Angel.
