Snow Angels community initiative returns to Pembroke this winter
The City of Pembroke is proud to continue the Snow Angels initiative in the community this winter.
Snow Angels is a community-fueled tool that helps to match volunteers with residents in their area who require assistance removing snow from their driveways and walkways.
“Clearing snow can be a barrier for many people, including older adults, people with disabilities, someone with an injury, or even a parent with young children with difficulties leaving the house,” says Mayor Ron Gervais. “The inability to remove snow can affect an individual’s ability to stay active in our community and to live at home as safely and as independently as possible. We aim to help to remove this barrier for Pembroke residents again this winter.”
With the Snow Angels initiative, those who may need support with snow removal can register and be paired with a volunteer in their community. The program is completely free as it is strictly volunteer based.
To volunteer or to register for assistance, visit the Snow Angels Canada website.
The Snow Angels initiative is not a City of Pembroke program. It relies completely on our community and the registration of volunteers. However, those with questions regarding the program or how to register may contact the Operations Department at 613-735-6821 ext. 1409. Registration is also available through the Pembroke Public Library either in person or by calling 613-732-8844.
