I really like the idea of community-based service organizing. Even if it's done for little or no cash, it still gets things done. Some goods and services, like snow clearance, are more important than money. That is to say, even if there's no money changing hands, the job still needs to be done.

There's a good chunk of Hamilton where there really isn't much, if any, money to pay for this kind of thing. There are many other ways to repay favours between neighbours, and all of them can contribute to building stronger communities.

And for the record, some kid down the block keeps shoveling my walkway and won't take money for it. I really can't complain.
