The celebration will kick off on the steps of the bridge (South Water Street side) at 6:00 PM, where a moment of silence will recognize the native inhabitants of the land. Following the land acknowledgement, a torch procession across the bridge, courtesy of WaterFire Providence, will illuminate performances by visual artists and PRONK! bands.

Youth to Senior Snow Shoveling Program Continues in Pawtucket

Pawtucket, Rhode Island – Mayor Donald R. Grebien and the Pawtucket City Council have announced that the Pawtucket’s Youth to Senior Shoveling Program is now accepting requests from Pawtucket seniors to be placed on the list to be matched with a snow shoveling volunteer for this winter. After another successful season last year matching dedicated youth volunteers with senior citizens from the Pawtucket community who need assistance in shoveling their stairs and sidewalks, the City of Pawtucket is proud to continue this program for the 8th year.

The program was spearheaded by Beth Roberge who will be stepping aside after seven years as Senior Liaison.

“I cannot put into words how thankful I am for her service to our community and the senior population as she began and elevated the program. It truly flourished under her leadership and care, gaining notoriety from various media outlets and questions from other cities throughout the country on her template for success,” said Mayor Donald R. Grebien.

For this year, Homeless Liaison, Thomas Hodge, will take on the responsibility of the Senior Liaison
