He is well-recognized around the neighbourhood, as other people also share the responsibility.

Wilkinson doesn't want money or even recognition for what he does. He says he enjoys it.

Dan Wilkinson has been in a wheelchair for 36 years and decided to help his neighbours by clearing their sidewalks.

CALGARY (CITYNEWS) – “I had a guy ask me, ‘how much is this going to cost me?’ I said, ‘nothing’.”

Ogden resident Dan Wilkinson has been taking it upon himself to clear the sidewalks of his neighbours — out of the kindness of his heart.

“It’s something I enjoy doing. And the reason I started is because I used to have a crew come in and do it for me, and I thought I could do this myself,” Wilkinson said.

At first, armed with a shovel, Wilkinson would go around the community clearing the sidewalks of his elderly neighbours.

But as the years progressed, he upgraded and started using a snowblower while in his wheelchair.

“Ogden is a great community,” Wilkinson added, “it’s a good place to live because everybody kind of looks out for each other.”

Wilkinson said he mainly does it to keep himself busy, but added that his neighbours are out as much as he is, taking their turns in clearing the snow.

“I got my coffee and I got my tunes, and I’m good to go,” he shared. “I don’t really care about recognition.”

Wilkinson uses both a shovel and a snowblower during his treks.

“I have a little shovel and nobody has done their sidewalks for a little bit, or if it’s packed down, then I shovel it off real quick,” Wilkinson explained. “And if it’s too heavy, then I’ll have to blow for a bit.”

Friends have posted about the 54-year-old all over Facebook, saying he has helped out his neighbours for years.

This is my favorite guy in Ogden. Everytime it snows, he's out there doing the whole block, vehicles included. I get to stay in my jammies because of this. Posted by Amber Racy on Saturday, February 9, 2019

“It gets me out of the house. My wife works from home and it gets me out of her hair,” Wilkinson joked.

He added that when there was heavy snowfall in the past, he would spend close to eight hours clearing the snow.

He wears a FitBit and said there were times were he travelled close to seven kilometers.

He said he doesn’t want to be treated differently because of the fact that he’s in a wheelchair.

“In the realm of the word ‘handicapped’, some people don’t think I should be able to do this. There’s nothing I can’t do,” he said.

“I’m too young to just sit inside and do nothing and I have too much energy to just sit there and do nothing.”

Wilkinson said there are plans to expand to further neighbourhoods, but is waiting for his back to heal before he does that.

“As long as my coffee doesn’t run out, I’m good.”
