It's World Snow Day! Being so close to the Canadian Rockies, we get a lot of the fluffy, white flakes in our neck of the woods, often well into spring while others are welcoming blossoms on trees (as well as one random time in August).

Our prolonged winter season means accessibility in snowy conditions is top of mind for us for the better part of the year. Here are a few of our top tips for ensuring people with disabilities can safely navigate our communities:

❄️ Keep sidewalks, driveways, pathways and handrails clear of snow and ice. Shovel as soon as possible after a snowfall and use salt or pet-safe ice melt to prevent slippery surfaces.
❄️ Ensure you don't block sidewalk and street corner access with snow piles, as it may force those with mobility devices into the roadway.
❄️ Keep outdoor areas well-lit for visibility of snow and ice.
❄️ If you're responsible for snow removal outside of a business, ensure excess snow isn't piled into accessible parking spaces and doesn't block entry points to the sidewalk.
❄️ Make sure carpets and mats inside of doorways are kept clean and flat so they don't provide a slipping or tripping hazard.
❄️ Write to your local government representative and request proactive snow removal policies for public sideways, street corners and walking paths.

Enjoy the sweater weather and stay warm and safe!

Today we celebrate practicum students whose curiosity, compassion, and hard work strengthen the DI. Across the Free Goods Program, Health, and Housing, they help keep dignity at the centre—listening first, using people-first language, and making our work accessible to everyone.

Student spotlight — Solome Baraki
“I’d volunteered at the DI before, but my Communications practicum deepened everything. I learned to listen first and write with dignity. That experience became a launchpad I’m now a digital marketer and social media manager.”

Want to learn with purpose?
Explore practicum and volunteer pathways at calgarydropin.ca. Help make a difference one conversation, one move-in, one dignified next step.

Did you know that 1 in 10 Canadian children lives with a disability that can make trick-or-treating difficult or even impossible?
Uneven walkways, loud sounds, or bright lights can make trick-or-treating overwhelming for children with mobility or sensory challenges. But a few small steps, like offering treats at the end of your driveway, providing non-food options, or adding gentle lighting can make a huge difference.
This year, join the movement for a more inclusive Halloween.
Visit our friends at treataccessibly.com to learn more, and order your free lawn sign to show your support for accessible fun for everyBODY!
