Snow Angel Program
Do you know a Snow Angel who deserves recognition?
A Snow Angel is a neighbour or friend that has volunteered to help you, or someone you know who is elderly or has a disability, by clearing snow or ice from their driveway, steps or walkway.
If you know a Snow Angel, the City of Ottawa wants to thank them!
Snow Angels will receive a certificate signed by the Mayor.
