❄️ It is not just the snowfall. It is what happens after.
Refreeze. Black ice. Low winter glare right at rush hour.

❄️🚶 Snow and ice don’t just slow people down — they can block access entirely.

Clearing sidewalks, curb cuts, and access ramps is essential for people who are blind or have low vision to travel safely and independently during winter.

Accessibility matters year-round.

Thompson, Manitoba🥶 Deep winter has arrived in the Hub of the North. We’re looking at a high of -24°C today with clear, piercing blue skies. It’s beautiful but dangerous—exposed skin can freeze in minutes with the wind chill hitting -35°C. Ensure your vehicle is plugged in and your emergency kit is ready. Stay safe and stay warm, Thompson! 🦌#ThompsonMB #Manitoba #NorthernManitoba #ExtremeCold #WinterSafety

Winter PSA ❄️

If snow clearing is tough, Ottawa’s Snow Go program matches seniors & people with disabilities with affordable snow removal.

Snow Go Assist can also help cover costs for low-income residents.
