Services and Facilities

Snow Angels is a community initiative that matches residents who need help clearing snow with local volunteers, or "snow angels", in their area. It is completely free, as it relies on the generous support of local volunteers.

Clearing snow can be a barrier for many people, including older adults and people living with a disability. It can affect a person's ability to live at home safely and as independently as possible. Let's have some community spirit this winter and show people why Belleville is a great place to live!
