BURLINGTON, ON

As we enter the holiday season, the focus becomes the hustle and bustle of shopping, dinner parties and family gatherings. As joyous as this season is, there are many families in the Region of Halton who struggle to provide their children with that special gift on Christmas morning.

The Regional Police helped 4000 families through the holiday season last year – can Burlington do better this season?

In 2014, the Halton Regional Police Toys for Tots program helped over 4,000 families in the Region of Halton. They want to make the 2015 campaign just as successful.

Halton Regional Police is holding two Cram-A-Cruiser events on Saturday November 28, 2015 as part of the annual Toys for Tots toy drive.

Where:

1. Canadian Tire Store located at 5070 Appleby Line, Burlington

2. Canadian Tire Store located at 777 Guelph Line, Burlington

When:

10:00am to 2:00pm at both locations

Police officers and volunteers will be accepting new unwrapped toys, gift cards (great for teens), cash or Canadian Tire money for the Toys for Tots program. Please bring the children; let them our officers, tour a police cruiser and meet McGruff! Help us fill as many cruisers as possible!
The Halton Police mascot, McGruff will be at the Appleby Line store between 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM.
