A Tiny Tots’ Christmas Wish Come True!
The CP Services team was delighted to have participated in the 2nd annual Festival of Trees by Willow Lake Tiny Tots Day Care (WLTT) during the Christmas in Anzac fundraiser. WLTT is a non-profit organization that facilitates programs and activities for children in the Anzac community and surrounding areas.
“The entire event was a wonderful weekend that brought families together in the community for lots of fun in support of our local organizations,” says Janelle Ritchie, CP Services fleets and logistics coordinator.
Christmas in Anzac took place at the Anzac Recreation Centre from December 7-9. In addition to the Festival of Trees, the weekend event featured an ugly sweater family skate, breakfast with Santa, and Christmas market and crafts. Members of CP Services worked hard decorating a beautiful Christmas tree, which was then donated to the fundraiser along with an assortment of toys.
A community dinner organized by Anzac Family Community Support Society (AFCSS) capped the weekend. A delicious turkey meal was provided by the local Zee Bar and each child received a gift from Santa corresponding to the five domains of early childhood development. All funds raised this year are going toward a splash pad in Anzac to encourage water play and to enhance kids’ balance, strength, coordination, and communication and social skills.
We want to thank Brandt Tractor and Finning for the toy donations that helped make our tree even more festive. We also want to recognize Lisa, Mandy, Meryl, Janelle and Jon for acting as such great community ambassadors on behalf of CP.
