Lend a Helping Hand this Winter

Volunteer to be a Snow Angel


The arrival of winter weather presents challenges for some Coquitlam residents. We’re looking for Snow Angel volunteers who can lend a helping hand by assisting those who are unable to clear their City sidewalks.
 
Volunteers are paired with neighbours in need, who are within walking distance, to assist in clearing snow from their City sidewalk within 24 hours of snowfall.
