The Children’s Aid Society of the District of Thunder Bay

Thank You!

Heartfelt thanks are offered to all of the individuals, families, businesses, and organizations who generously contributed to the 2016 Children’s Aid Society’s Christmas Programs.

The Christmas Wishes Gift Tree was hosted by Walmart Memorial, Dawson Road and Arthur Street locations. Many thanks to the generous citizens of Thunder Bay who purchased hundreds of wonderful presents for children in our community. The Holiday Hamper Program delivered much needed food and gift hampers to families and independent youth in care.
