Tis the season to help out local children

We are excited to announce our 6th annual children’s clothing drive, happening Saturday November 25th, 2023 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the White Rock RCMP detachment! Join Santa, Safety Bear, local police officers and community elves who will be collecting NWT (new with tags) children’s clothing and monetary donations (debit or credit tap). All clothing and money will be donated to Sources to help local children and families in our community.

Through the generosity of the community we have been able to support the needs of our local children and families for the past 5 years. Many children and youth who would normally have to do without, will be provided with clothing, warm winter jackets and accessories this holiday season. Says Community Policing Coordinator Romy Devries.

This year for the first time, Santa will be having his photo taken not only with children but with your fur-babies! Bring your other children and have a photo taken with the him when you bring your NWT clothing or monetary donation! Dog treats generously donated for the event by Bosleys in White Rock.

Constable Chantal Sears adds, This is an exciting time of year and we love visiting with our community members! Every year we try to build on this event and we are looking forward to meeting your four-legged residents as well! Santa told us they have all been good boys and girls!
