- Craft sets
- Art supplies
- Science kits
- Books
- Sports equipment
- Jewelry sets
- Electronics and headphones
- Movie passes

Please take your toy donations to the first floor of City Hall on November 29 or 30 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Be sure to bring your parking ticket with you. A receipt must be presented at the time of payment. If the toy is valued lower than the price of the ticket, the difference must be paid.
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.
