Don’t pack away your crampons just yet.
Although the 14-day weather forecast calls for rain and warmer temperatures, Mother Nature has been sneaky with snowstorms since early December, catching many homeowners unprepared.
There are still plenty of patches of ice sprinkled across North Shore neighbourhoods causing difficult and dangerous walking conditions.
Residents in all three municipalities have been urged to shovel and salt their walkways throughout the recent nasty bouts of weather, and Capilano Mall is pitching in.
On Wednesday the mall will be giving away road salt in exchange for a minimum cash donation of $10 to support North Vancouver Firefighters Local 296 Foundation.
Firefighters will hand out pre-packaged salt in 10-pound bags on a first-come, first-served basis while quantities last, at the Hanes Avenue entrance, according to a press release issued Monday by mall administration.
