Snow Angels program returning to Coalhurst

COALHURST, AB – The Town of Coalhurst and Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) are looking to help deal with potential snow this winter.

On October 10, 2024, the Town announced that the Snow Angels program will be returning to the community for its second year. In the program, those who need help clearing snow at their property due to a condition or disability can apply to FCSS for assistance.

If approved, a sign will be displayed outside their home from November until mid-April. Then, when it snows, if someone else in the community sees the sign, they’re encouraged to grab a shovel and clear the walkways and driveway. Program recipients are encouraged to make a shovel readily available to volunteers for use.

Coalhurst mayor Lyndsay Montina says, “Our community thrives when we take care of each other, and this is a simple way to help make winter a little easier to manage. The Town of Coalhurst is grateful to FCSS for bringing this program to our community and encouraging our residents to show care through action.”
