In Pictures: Municipal Good Samaritans lend a hand

Freelance photographer Jason Portras was out and about on Sunday morning when he came across a semi that was stuck in snow and blocking part of the intersection of Victoria Road and the Trans-Canada.

As he watched, he saw two City employees come up to the truck so he grabbed his camera and fired off a series of frames. What he captured was a nice little story…
