Roger Lauriaule hadn’t planned on spending five hours of his Saturday plowing the driveways of strangers, but he got himself into that mess and he was going to get himself out. To the surprise of many on the Greater Sudbury Valley East Facebook page, this past Saturday Hanmer Resident Lauriaule volunteered his time to his “time and plow to anyone who need[ed] help with their driveway.” The act appeared unmotivated and was a welcome change to the negativity Lauriaule claims to dominate the public forum.
