Celebrate Canada’s Cold Weather Heroes #TideColdHero

Let’s all admit that come February, there are days that we look outside and think “Oh heck no!” But despite the cold weather, there are those special people; the ones that often make us wonder, “How could they possibly do that job in the cold?”, that continue to battle on throughout the colder months, that make our lives just a little bit easier, sweeter or safer.

Tide wants to recognize and celebrate Canadians that suffer the cold to get the job done – our humble, local Cold Weather Heroes! From the crossing guard who helps your little one get to school safely to the linesman braving heights to ensure  you have power and heat on these frosty days, Canadian Cold Weather Heroes can be found in every community, and they don’t let the cold stop them!

Tide travelled across Canada to meet real Cold Weather Heroes and document their stories of everyday heroism.  Visit theweathernetwork.com to see how a crossing guard, zamboni driver, search and rescue team, fisherman and linesman do their best in the cold!

Now I have the unique pleasure of spreading the joy and recognizing some local Cold Weather Heroes right here in my own neighbourhood with a random act of kindness, a token of appreciation, this gift from Tide!

The only problem, where to start?  Do I give my gift to the sweet lady across the street, always the first to help shovel out the elderly neighbours driveway after a big snowfall?  Or maybe the dedicated Teacher who bundles up during every lunch hour, making sure our kiddos are safe out there in the yard as they slip and slide in the school yard.  Perhaps the Crossing Guard afterschool is the Cold Weather Hero I should be giving a shout out to?  Ultimately I decided to give my gift to someone who helps make everyone feel a little safer, sleep a little better and never, ever takes a snow day; one of our very own neighbourhood Police Officers. 

This gentle soul was touched and preferred not to be identified, once again proving that Police Officers are the most caring of all.  This generous soul also decided that since he really was “just doing his job”, he would like to pay this gift forward to the Men’s Mission, knowing all the quiet Heroes that work there would put this gift to wonderful use.   A true Cold Weather Hero.  Thank goodness for all the Police Officers that are out there day and night, sun or snow keeping us all just a little bit safer.
