Toy Drive Teddy Bear with Present

Our annual Holiday Toy Drive has wrapped up for another year. Thanks to your generous donations, more than 300 toys and gifts were collected from our retail locations in Whitehorse and Yellowknife.

Thanks once again to our partner organizations, who helped to distribute the gifts to children as part of their respective holiday programs:
