Volunteer Services & Recognition

Snow Angel Program

The Snow Angel Program is a volunteer program that supports Blackfalds seniors and those with physical restrictions; by removing snow from resident’s driveway/walkway along with sidewalks to ensure they are safe for all.

We currently have 7 residents on our Snow Angel Program waiting for volunteers and snow is back in the forecast! Are you interested in filling these roles?
Snow Angels are individuals who help shovel the driveway/walkways of those who are unable to do so during the winter months.

This program encourages neighbours to help neighbours and build a strong, more connected community.

“Adopting” a drive/walkway is a fun and healthy way for all ages to enjoy the outdoors while contributing to improving the quality of life of someone in need.

For more information about the program, and how to register please see the brochure available here:
