Winter has officially started to poke its head around the corner with snowfall hitting the Foothill area.

While it's never a blissful experience getting out in the cold and plowing snow off your property, it's important to stay on top of it as it is a safety hazard to not shovel, and it could cost you a pretty penny.

According to the High River Bylaw:

- Snow and ice shall be removed from a sidewalk down to a bare surface within 24 hours after the end of a snowfall event.

Smile Cookies are back from Tim Hortons.

Kevin Generoux, owner of the two locations in High River and one in Claresholm says they've changed it up a bit.

"It is a little different. It is the Christmas cookie so it's more of a sugar cookie and not the chocolate chunk. It's got a smiley face on it, and we have selected two charities. Which are the local food banks in High River and Claresholm and the Tim Horton's Children's Foundation."

Generoux says it feels great to help out the community and you should pick some up soon because they're flying off the shelves.

A few Foothills food banks will be benefitting from this year's Tim Hortons Holiday Smile Cookie campaign.

Sales of smile cookies at Tim Hortons locations from Nov. 18-24 will be split between local charities and Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

In Okotoks, those proceeds will go to the Okotoks Food Bank.

It comes at the perfect time, as the food bank is heading into the holiday season following a busy fall.
