The Thunder Bay Police Service (TBPS) is extending its heartfelt thanks to the community after an overwhelming response to the toy drive for children and families displaced by wildfires. In just 24 hours, people donated enough toys, games and books to fill six vehicles. Those donations have now been delivered and will be distributed to children and families in need. “The response has been overwhelming and confirms what we already know: the people of Thunder Bay can always be counted on to help,” said TBPS Chief Darcy Fleury. “At a time when so many families are facing fear, disruption and uncertainty, Thunder Bay has responded with kindness. These donations are more than toys, games and books — they are reminders to children and families that they are supported and not alone.” Community members arrived with bags, boxes and armloads of donations. Some parents came in with their own children, who wanted to share their toys with children who have been evacuated due to wildfires. TBPS members made personal contributions. Local businesses also came forward with significant donations to help bring comfort and moments of joy to children facing uncertainty. TBPS members helped load and deliver the toys received so far, ensuring the donations could reach evacuees as quickly as possible. The Thunder Bay Police Service thanks every person, family, business and organization that contributed to this effort. Your generosity will help bring comfort, distraction and moments of joy to children and families during an incredibly difficult time. Donations can continue to be dropped off at the TBPS station at 1200 Balmoral Street.
