Pay tickets with Toys for Tickets program

Tickets can be paid with new toys for the Toys for Tickets program this December.

Motorists who receive parking tickets between Dec. 1 and 15 can choose to pay their ticket for timed parking or Winter Maintenance Zones infractions with a toy donation.

New toys in original packaging, with receipts can be dropped off at the South Operations Centre (140 Saprae Creek Trail) between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., on Dec. 18 and 19. If the toy’s value is lower than the cost of the ticket, gift cards and a validation slip will be accepted for the difference.

All toy donations will be distributed by the Salvation Army, who will distribute them to local families in need through their Adopt-A-Family program.

Everyone is encouraged to make toy donations whether they’ve been issued a ticket or not.
