Thunder Bay / Pikangikum – Toys for the North provides Christmas cheer for young and old across Northern Ontario. In 2020, a year in which many of the events have been cancelled due to COVID-19, the decision to keep the Toys for the North campaign going was made.
The toys arrived in Thunder Bay destined for Northern communities onboard a Canadian Forces CF-18 Hercules. This massive aircraft with a cargo of toys weighing 9000 pounds arrived in Thunder Bay last week.
