Thank you to our local community leaders and families for celebrating with us!
Spreading the Holiday Cheer at our Annual Holiday Toy Drive
Friend--
This past weekend, our office had the delightful opportunity to host our Annual Holiday Toy Drive at Oakdale Community Centre, and it turned out to be a tremendous success! Teaming up with over a dozen community groups, our volunteers wrapped hundreds of donated toys, which were then distributed to various community groups in Humber-River Black Creek, bringing holiday joy to countless children.
A heartfelt appreciation goes out to the Toronto Professional Firefighters Association for their donation of toys, our dedicated volunteers, talented performers, community leaders, and of course, Santa himself, for joining forces and making this event truly unforgettable. Check out our festive pictures below!
