The City of Richmond is looking for Snow Angel volunteers this winter season to help clear snow from the homes of residents who are elderly, ill, or have mobility concerns.
When signing up, volunteers can choose the geographic area they want to work in and the amount of time to volunteer during snow fall events.
“The Snow Angels Program, provided by individuals, families, students, and businesses, showcases the commitment from our community to keep our residents safe and connected,” says Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “Helping neighbours clear snow provides volunteers with an opportunity to make a difference and helps to ensure that Richmond residents have an enjoyable and safe winter.”
This volunteer-driven program activates only when there is an accumulation of three or more centimetres of snow in Richmond. Volunteers will make every effort to help registered residents, however assistance cannot always be guaranteed.
Volunteers will be provided with a shovel, toque, and container of ice melt. To learn more about being a Snow Angel volunteer, visit icanhelp.richmond.ca, call 604-247-4453, or e-mail parksprograms@richmond.ca.
Residents that would like the services of the Snow Angels Program are asked to apply by Dec. 9. Applications received after that date will be added to a waitlist. To apply, contact the Snow Angels coordinator at parksprograms@richmond.ca or call 604-247-4453.
