All donations go to the Red Deer Christmas Bureau to ensure children in need can wake up to a gift on Christmas morning.

“This is a very popular program,” said Fred Dieno, Parking Coordinator. “Last year, more than 300 toys were collected and delivered to the Red Deer Christmas Bureau.”

We have collected more than 5,800 toys, games, gift cards and more since we started doing this in 2007.”

As always, toys are welcome from members of the public who have not received a parking ticket.
