Become a Volunteer Snow Angel
15 Dec 2011 by Sonia Sophia / No Comments
The City of Vancouver is preparing for the 2011 – 2012 winter season, and are looking for some help. You can lend a hand by keeping sidewalks clear of ice and snow.
The City of Vancouver requires all property owners and occupants (tenants) to clear ice and snow from the sidewalks adjacent to their property no later than 10 am after a snowfall (7 days a week). For some seniors and persons with disabilities moving snow can be difficult and even dangerous. Not clearing sidewalks can make streets unsafe and difficult for those with mobility issues.
You and your community group can help:
- When it snows, lend a hand to people in your neighbourhood who could use help shoveling their sidewalk.
- Adopt the sidewalk of a senior or a person with mobility issue and keep it clear of snow and ice all winter long.
- Be a point of contact in your community when the snow falls. Get on the City’s 3-1-1 Snow Angels list. (The City’s 3-1-1 Contact Centre will put your organization’s contact information on the list, which will be used by The City of Vancouver’s citizen service representatives to give out to residents who need help with snow removal.)
By providing an unforgettable service in a time of need, you could earn community service hours, receive a thank you letter from the City and win prizes!
To find out more about Snow Angels, add your organization to The City of Vancouver’s 3-1-1 Snow Angels list and/or tell them about you and your organization being a Snow Angel:
- call 3-1-1
- e-mail snowangels@vancouver.ca or

Unpaid Internships: Exploitative or Beneficial?
25 Jul 2011 by nicole freeston / No Comments
Y57 recently posted a poll question asking youth whether or not they’d participate in an unpaid internship. 81% said yes while 13% said no, and the rest asked if unpaid internships were illegal. Seeing as an overwhelming amount answered yes, it seems that most of us are willing to work for free in the hopes of gaining experience in a particular field and being able to one-up our peers.
