Snow Buddies Registration Underway

Woodstock teens are being to asked to get off the couch this winter and do something positive for the community through the Snow Buddies program.

WOODSTOCK - Teenagers in Woodstock are being asked to put down their video game controllers for Fortnite and pick up a shovel. 

Emma Vondervoort, the Supervisor for Recreational Programs, says it's a great opportunity for youth to get their volunteer hours or to possibly even get paid.

"You get paired with a neighbour in your neighbourhood, who is elderly or needs some assistance shoveling snow."

Vondervoort adds it also turns teens into active citizens.

"I think it's a great way for them to help out in the winter and form relationships in the community. It's also a great generational project as well; it's nice to get to know new people in their community."

Training will begin this fall; teaching kids how to properly shovel and some safety tips while out in the community.

It costs $10 for youth to register and you can do so online here.
