The Thompson RCMP, the Thompson Fire Department’s and Salvation Army’s Toy Drive was a tremendous success last weekend.

410 toys were collected, 250 pounds of food and over a thousand dollars was donated during the four hour event.

Many people also brought hot chocolate to the fire department and police during the cold winter day.

Constable Sandy Deibert said it was the most money ever collected from any single donation kettle in Thompson according to the Salvation Army.
