Snow Angels Program

Home Residents Family and Community Support ServicesSnow Angels Program

	What is the Snow Angels Program? Strathmore is an active community where we celebrate and embrace living in a cold climate. Keeping our sidewalks free of snow and ice is critical in keeping town residents moving safely and enjoying winter. But, shoveling can be difficult, and even dangerous, for many citizens -- especially those with limited mobility or certain health conditions. The Snow Angels Program aims to encourage neighbours to help one another and thereby build a caring, engaged community. Residents in need of snow removal have "Snow Angels" signs placed in their yards.
