Muslim youth group clears snow for more than 40 seniors and residents with disabilities

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association clears snow from multiple homes for seniors and people with disabilities in Bradford.

With harsh winter weather settling in, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association is stepping up to support Bradford residents who need an extra hand.

A team of 22 volunteers has been making its way through local neighbourhoods, shoveling snow for seniors and people with disabilities.

“These types of initiatives by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association are part of an ongoing effort to serve Canadians and demonstrate the true spirit of Islam,” stated one of the members in a written email to CTV News.

Since the season began, the group has responded more than 45 times, clearing driveways and walkways to make winter safer and more manageable for vulnerable community members.

The campaign has been very well-received by the community. Volunteers say they’re committed to continuing the effort as long as the heavy snow keeps coming.
