As our region continues to respond to the devastating impacts of ongoing wildfires, our community has come together to support families who have been forced to leave their homes. To help bring comfort and moments of joy to children affected by these evacuations, the Thunder Bay Police Service (TBPS) is launching a toy drive for displaced children currently staying in Thunder Bay. Community members are invited to donate new or gently used, clean toys, games and books that will be distributed to children and families impacted by the wildfires. Donations can be dropped off at the police station at 1200 Balmoral Street 24 hours a day. "While we continue emergency management efforts and ensuring the safety of our community, we also recognize the emotional impact these events have on children," said TBPS Chief Darcy Fleury. "A simple toy can provide comfort, a sense of normalcy, and a reason to smile during an incredibly difficult time. We know our community will once again demonstrate its generosity and compassion." Many families have left their homes with only the essentials, and children are facing uncertainty while staying in unfamiliar places. Through this toy drive, we hope to help make their experience a little brighter. The Thunder Bay Police Service extends its sincere thanks to everyone who is supporting wildfire evacuees and encourages anyone who is able to contribute to help make a difference in the lives of these children. Toy Donations: What: New or gently used, clean toys, games and books Where: Thunder Bay Police Service 1200 Balmoral Street When: 7 days a week, 24 hours a day
