OTTAWA Turning eight years old usually means a party and presents, but Jayda Arnott from Greely, Ont. is celebrating her special day by dedicating it to others. Jayda knows many people are struggling to make ends meet during this tough time, and she wanted to give back. “I feel good in my heart,” says Jayda, “because I’m helping the less fortunate and they really need food during COVID.” For her eighth birthday, Jayda decided that she was going to give up her gifts in exchange for collecting food and money for the Ottawa Food Bank. “Presents, you play with for a minute and then you’re done with it,” says Jayda. “But if you get food or anything like that, you can use it for a long time.”
