If you need help clearing away snow this winter, you can sign up for Snow Angels.
It is an online platform where residents who require assistance with shoveling snow can post a request for service, and volunteers in their area can reach out to help.
In February 2020, Snow Angels began operating in Barrie with 10 clients and 46 volunteers. Given snowfall predictions for the upcoming winter season, the City is anticipating more people needing support through this program.
Although the City does not own or operate the online platform, City staff worked with Snow Angels to customize the program for Barrie residents and is encouraging residents to sign up as clients or volunteers at SnowAngelsCanada.ca.
