Bruce Power Manager of Community Relations Dwight Irwin says the need from local communities is great once again this year.
“Our annual fundraiser provides a boost for hundreds of local families through the hard-working organizations that operate these toy and hamper programs, so we encourage everybody to give if they can this holiday season,” says Irwin.
Those who would like to donate to the fundraiser can visit the Bruce Power Toy Drive website here. Donations will be accepted until midnight on Nov. 20.
