WINNIPEG — Salvation Army has received a donation of 150 toys for its Toy Mountain campaign this year.

The Winnipeg Police Association made the donation on Monday at the Salvation Army Weetamah Centre on Logan Avenue.

“We have started a tradition whereby each year, toys are gathered at the Winnipeg Police Association Christmas party and then donated to a worthwhile toy drive,” said WPA president Maurice Sabourin.

“We are honoured to support Toy Mountain again this year. The WPA wants to help ensure all boys and girls receive a toy this Christmas, and encourage all those able to give to please do so.

More than 18,000 toys will be delivered to children in Winnipeg this year thanks to Toy Mountain. Donations can still be stopped off to 324 Logan Avenue, any Winnipeg police and fire station, and all Scotiabank locations.
