Good Samaritans are helping thousands of elderly and disabled residents in Ontario with snow shovelling after the weekend’s intense storms, and as demand rises more volunteers are needed.
For nearly a decade, a community-driven platform called Snow Angels has been matching volunteers with those in need of shovelling help across Canada. Last weekend’s heavy snowfall in Ontario resulted in numerous emails and phone calls, said Lincoln McCardle, founder of the platform, with new people signing up for help daily and volunteers trying to catch up.
