Christmas is coming! For most of us that is a special time of year, but with reports that record numbers of Canadians are accessing food banks across the country, this Christmas will not be so easy for many families.

I’m happy to report that Black Creek Pioneer Village is joining the Toy Mountain campaign organized by CTV and the Salvation Army. Visitors to the Village are asked to bring new, unwrapped toys which will be distributed later to children in need of a little extra cheer this year.

Let’s do what we can to help each other out. A little generosity can go a long way, and help make this a better city for all of us.
