| Description of project |
The Town of Stony Plain with their peace officers presented an opportunity for any person with a parking or bylaw ticket to pay the ticket with a toy or gift card (value over $25, receipt must be attached) The program was a huge success as boxes of toys were donated, many by people who didn't even have a ticket. All donations went to our Kinsmen Christmas Hampers. |
