The City of Windsor is looking for volunteers to help seniors and people with physical disabilities clear snow from their walkways and steps this winter. Registration is now open for the city’s Snow Angels program, which matches volunteer snow shovelers with residents who are unable to clear snow themselves. The city says snow-covered walkways and stairs can pose safety risks for people with limited mobility and make it difficult for emergency responders, mail carriers and other service providers to access properties. Volunteers must be at least 15-years-old, making the program an opportunity for high school students to complete some of their 40-hour community involvement requirement. The city says it can provide a shovel if needed. Registered volunteers will also be entered into a draw to win an iPad or one of two $50 recreation gift cards, which can be used toward community centre programs, facility rentals and swimming. Registration is available online or contacting 311.
