Mr. Speaker, the holidays celebrate kindness and togetherness. For the fifth year, the Canadian Colours Kingston Foundation, led by Jimmy Hassan, is reviving the Santa slices initiative, a tradition started in 2020 that has become a beloved holiday effort.
What began as a plan to deliver 500 pizza slices during the pandemic has evolved into a significant campaign. Last year, over 2,500 slices were provided to shelters and outreach programs in Kingston, proving that small gestures can make a big difference. As Santa slices 2025 launches, Jimmy's goal remains to deliver food to people in need, supporting organizations like Martha's Table and Kingston Interval House.
I thank Jimmy and all the volunteers and donors this year. Their effort is not just about pizza; it is about unity and kindness in the festive season.
