Each year, Snow Angels volunteers assist over 100 seniors and individuals with mobility challenges in Kamloops with snow removal services, allowing those individuals to do chores and get to medical appointments in a more safe manner.

Success story

Hii! My name is Harnoor and I’ve been Volunteering for Volunteer Kamloops since January, 2021 as a Snow Angel. It’s been great to serve the community and making it a better place for the elderly to live. I have been assigned to help out this friendly & retired old-aged couple who lives on Thor drive by clearing their driveway. It’s been a great opportunity to meet and help them out during this pandemic. You can find me on instagram at harnoorsingh03.

Thanks! Really looking forward for more such events!

Snow Angels Testimonial

The homes I support are a group of beautiful seniors, many of whom I’ve worked with for just about 10 years. I’ve been fortunate to have gotten to know all the owners, their families and many of their life stories.

I’ve also been on the receiving end of cards of thanks, baked goods and Christmas treats… but most importantly, genuine words of “Thanks”.

I’ve been involved with the Snow Angels since November 2014 when Rachel Verity was the Coordinator.

Mrs. Mary H. on Oakdale Way was my first Angel I supported back on November 24th, 2014.

Don’t know where the time went but I’m still finding joy in the opportunity to support these seniors.

Cheers, Charlie Bruce
