Dear Editor,
I really appreciate living in this community, more so when it snows.
Yesterday while shovelling a parking place for North Shore Hone Support (my sister and brother in law have arranged for the driveway to be ploughed regularly but when there us a big snowfall it doesn't help), constable Paulo stopped and helped me shovel. Thank you Paulo!
Thank you also to the home support team, Sally and Jan who come regularly to help my brother with his meals, medication, and eye drops which prevent him for going blind from glaucoma.
Sally makes her way into the house with two poles, pack on her back and a small shovel to get herself out after each job. Jan had to abandon her car in my driveway and walked to my brother's to help him befor calling her husband to pick her up.
These people help us so much and are an asset to our community.
I am wondering about the islanders who live alone, without family nearby....who shovels the snow so the home care team can get to them?
