The start of 2025 has been frigid in Canada, hasn't it? Cold winds, snow storms and squalls have definitely kept Canadians on their (ice-cold) toes. And I hate to say it, but the winter chill's not quite done with us yet. As we brave the cold, it's crucial to have the right equipment for snow removal. If you need help getting rid of the white stuff, a snow blower or snow thrower are both great options. However, they can be pretty costly, which means some of us prefer to stick to shovelling.

While it's a cheaper option, snow shovelling can be dangerous. If you feel like you're over-exerting yourself, or if your back tends to hurt after shovelling, we found an Amazon Canada deal that might be of interest. Check out this Snow Shovel with an Ergonomic Handle that shoppers say is "way easier on the back" than other shovels.

Amazon shoppers say it's "very lightweight" and also "very easy to use."

$60 at Amazon

It's an Amazon's Choice product, and in the past month, more than 600 people have bought one of these handy shovels. Curious about how it works? Keep scrolling for all the details.

This shovel has a curved, ergonomic handle made of sturdy aluminum which reduces the strain incurred on the back that's typical of other shovels. The curvature of the handle improves the balance of everything, which results in less pressure on the wrists when carrying heavy snow.

The handle is also made of aluminum and has an anti-slip texture to prevent injuries.

The scoop of the shovel is 18 inches wide and has an aluminum strip across the front to get underneath packed snow and ice.
