Have you ever spotted a "Snow Angels" sign in a neighbour's yard and wondered what it meant? The Snow Angels program aims to encourage neighbours to help one another and thereby build a caring and engaged community. Residents in need of snow removal have Snow Angel signs placed in their yards.

The program relies on the good will of neighbourhood volunteers: youth, seniors, families, community groups, and corporate volunteers who shovel snow for residents needing assistance with snow removal.

If you would like to volunteer, please contact the FCSS offices at 780-594-4495.

Residents who need assistance removing snow are eligible for this program. Placement of a Snow Angel sign on a yard is not a guarantee that snow will be removed. The program runs from mid-October to mid-April, with signs distributed and picked up by FCSS staff.

If you require assistance with snow removal, please contact Cold Lake and District FCSS beginning Oct. 1 at fcss@coldlake.com or call 780-594-4495.
