Ontario, Canada's most populated province, was just hit with their worst snowstorm in years.
It led to school closures, traffic jams, and police warning people to stay home.
It also led to the most amazing acts of kindness you’ll ever see.
A Canadian Thread.

This is Clayton.
He’s 8.
During the blizzard, he noticed a man who had fallen into the snow, and was nearly buried underneath all of it.
He immediately alerted his parents who called 911 and saved the man’s life.

These two men were stuck in their car when they noticed an old lady trying to cross the street.
What did they do?
They immediately jumped out and helped walk her safely to her home.
Like, all the way home.
Later, a kind stranger helped them push their car out of the snow.

This construction worker noticed an elderly lady come off the subway.
He stopped what he was doing and walked her home, making sure she got home safe.
How's this for heartwarming? A viewer sent us this photo of a construction worker who walked a woman home from the subway station to make sure she got back safely. Toronto the Good, indeed. (Photo submitted by Nick. P.)

In Toronto, the police motto is “to serve and protect.”
In this case, civilians responded with “to help and to push” - actively pushing a police car out of a snow pile.

This TV weatherman was reporting live when a car got stuck in the snow.
So they paused, live on television, to help dig the driver out.
Well done, @AnthonyFarnell 👏🏼

Meanwhile in Ottawa, this nurse knew her patients needed her, but the roads were in terrible shape.
So she decided to skip the traffic and ski into work.
Heroes gotta hero.
