Adopt-a-Hydrant Program

Adopt-a-Hydrant Program and Contest for Winter 2026

Are you looking to make a difference in your neighbourhood? We invite all residents, businesses, families, and community organizations in Corner Brook to join us in keeping our community safe! By volunteering to clear snow from fire hydrants, you can help firefighters quickly find and use them in case of an emergency. If you’ve adopted a hydrant in the past, we’d love for you to apply again this year to keep up the great work. Let’s come together to ensure everyone’s safety!

The Contest begins on the week of December 16, 2025, and ends on March 31, 2026, at 4:30 p.m.
