Be a Snow Angel: clear a neighbour's snow or ice

Snow Angels are people who notice when neighbours may need help keeping a driveway, a stretch of sidewalk or a catch basin clear of snow and ice and decide to do it for them. Can you think of someone who could use a helping hand? Removing snow and ice for a neighbour is a wonderful way to show you care, and that we live in a neighbourly community.

Kingston Fire & Rescue reminds you that keeping fire escapes, exit doors and fire hydrants clear of snow and ice helps save lives.
