As the winter months approach, heavy snowfall can cause challenges for some residents, particularly elderly citizens and residents with illnesses, disabilities, or mobility challenges.
The City of Richmond is looking for volunteers between the age of 15 and 60 to participate in the Snow Angels Program this winter and assist these Richmond residents.
After snowfall events, Snow Angels help with removing snow from pathway leading to front door and side walk surrounding the residence. The Snow Angel program is a volunteer program and is dependent on resources, severity of the storm, number of volunteers available and the priority needs of other callers. Snow Angels activate when there is an accumulation of snow over 3 cm which stays for an extended period of time.  If you can help please click HERE: https://icanhelp.richmond.ca/custom/501/opp_details/12451  and sign up for Nov.27, 2024 mandatory virtual orientation listed at the Schedule section.  Once you have registered for the mandatory virtual orientation, a coordinator will be in touch with you to provide further information and a virtual meeting invitation.
