This year, the local Tim Horton’s raised nearly $4, 000 for BGC Thompson through their annual Smile Cookie campaign.

The organization’s executive director Lianne Denysuik explains the money will go towards sponsoring around ten spots for the club’s paid summer camp programming next year.

The summer camp typically has roughly 60-80 spots, but COVID-19 has dropped capacity down to about 45.

Denysuik says donations like the one by Tim Horton’s are crucial in allowing the non-profit to improve the quality of the programs they offer.
