Prince Albert Police Service spokesperson Charlene Tebbutt said it is important to them to keep the program going during a tough year.
“The police service wanted to make sure some local kids could still celebrate Christmas,” Tebbutt said. “It has been a tough year for many families in Prince Albert. Our members really enjoy Shop with a Cop, so we wanted to make sure we could still do this if we could.”

Tebbutt explained students will be doing their shopping with their teachers this year.
“We asked teachers to sit down with each of the children at their school and look at the Canadian Tire website and see what kinds of things they would like to pick out for their families,” Tebbutt said.
