Mr. Speaker, the most wonderful time of the year is fast approaching. However, this may not be the case for all Canadians. For many, the holidays may look different this year. Kurt Merriman, chief elf at the Oakville Professional Firefighters Association, is working to bring the magic of Christmas to all with the annual toy drive. The firefighters are collecting gifts for families, particularly older youth, who may need assistance this time of year, while helping to spread holiday cheer. This year, they are taking part in four events contributing to the cause, starting this Saturday at 9 a.m. with the Oakville Santa Claus Parade in downtown Oakville and Kerr Village, followed by the Oakville Blades' Teddy Bear Toss Game, the Toronto Rock lacrosse game and a drive-through event on December 9. I encourage all who can to contribute and to attend these events so that we can ensure that everyone can enjoy the holiday season.
