Mr. Speaker, I rise today to draw attention to a committee in my riding that has been around for 29 years now.
Toys for Joy works tirelessly to bring the magic of Christmas to families in need in the northern part of my riding, namely in Grand-Sault, Saint-André, Drummond and New Denmark.
This year's gift drive will take place on Saturday, December 1, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Toner Home Hardware. The committee will be accepting donations of new toys, money and empty bottles and cans.
Each year, the Toys for Joy committee provides for over 250 families with more than 500 children.
The committee relies on donations only, and each year its success is made possible by the help of countless volunteers, the committee itself and generous donations from individuals and businesses.
My thanks for the generous giving of all, whose contributions impact so many families in need.
Help us bring a smile to a child this holiday season.
Last but not least, I wish my son Jack a happy birthday.
