Coquitlam Snow Angels

Volunteers Needed Throughout Coquitlam

 
After the significant snow fall we saw in December, we heard that some residents were looking for ways to get involved and help their neighbours.
 
Coquitlam’s Snow Angels program works to unite people who need help clearing their property-adjacent City sidewalks of snow with eager volunteers from our community.
