You can help residents get in and out of their homes safely this winter. Some folks are unable to remove snow from their property and need extra help. By Adopting a Sidewalk, you will be matched with a resident for the winter season and will shovel as needed to keep their driveway and sidewalk clear.

Do you have neighbours who may need a temporary hand with shovelling their sidewalk or driveway? After a snowfall, take a look on your street and lend a hand to those who may need help clearing their snow.

No program registration required. Just grab a shovel and be a good neighbor - and please remember to keep fire hydrants clear.
