❄️ When the snow starts falling, it’s not just an individual challenge, it’s also a chance to team up, look out for our neighbours, and strengthen our community.
Helping a neighbour shovel, clearing a walkway, or checking in to make sure everyone’s safe, small actions can make a big difference.
Not everyone can get out to shovel, so lend a hand if you can.
Before the next storm hits, take a few minutes to prepare and help those around you do the same.
Before:
✅ Check smoke and CO detector batteries.
✅ Prepare an emergency plan and essentials kit.
✅Charge electronics and battery packs.
✅ Clean gutters and secure downspouts before heavy snow.
✅ Trim branches near your home to prevent damage.
During and after:
✅ Clear sidewalks and walking areas safely.
✅ Avoid pushing snow onto the road and follow local bylaws.
✅ Watch for ice dams on your roof and remove snow buildup when safe.
