Family and Community Support Services (FCSS)

Snow angel program

This winter, the town of Calmar, FCSS Department is happy to introduce a new Snow Angels program that aims to identify where snow clearing assistance is truly needed so that any member of the community can help out! “Many hands make short work,” and the goal is to share the workload and encourage any able-bodied person to be part of this great town initiative.

How it works

Residents who register for assistance, will be provided a sign to display in their window to indicate they have been approved for the program due to legitimate need. Applications are available at the town office or alternatively, may be filled in below digitally.

Eligibility

Anyone in the town of Calmar who has mobility issues and/or finds it difficult to keep their walks clear is welcome to apply through the Snow Angels program. This support is conditionally based on the idea that no-one else living in the same residence is able to shovel. This program is NOT applicable for those seeking assistance while on vacation. It is also essential to note that placing a Snow Angel sign does not guarantee snow removal.
