The City of Belleville is home to a wide variety of accessible services and facilities. See the below on more information.
Belleville Snow Angels |
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! Register now for the 2024 / 2025 winter season. You need to register both to submit a request for help and to become a volunteer.
