Oakville firefighters want to ensure every child in town has a toy to unwrap this holiday with its annual drive kicking off Saturday (Nov. 21). The 23rd annual toy drive, organized by the Oakville Professional Firefighters Association (OPFFA), will be accepting donations of new, unwrapped toys and gift cards at the 2015 Oakville Santa Claus Parade Saturday and at any Oakville Fire station until Friday, Dec. 18. Firefighters kick off annual toy drive at Saturday's Santa parade "Oakville's firefighters are excited to continue this holiday tradition, we are asking residents and businesses to help families and children in need," said Chuck Lewis, OPFFA president. All donations will be distributed directly to local families, organizations and community agencies supporting children. The OPFFA is also encouraging community groups and corporations to organize their own toy drives or donations drop-off in support the Oakville Firefighters Toy Drive. While all donations are welcome, the greatest need this year is gifts for boys and girls aged 11-16. This year, as an incentive, anyone who "Likes" the Oakville Firefighters Toy Drive Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ oakvillefirefighterstoydrive) will be entered into a draw to win a ride to school in a fire truck within Oakville's borders. Donations during the Oakville Santa Claus Parade can be made as local firefighters pass by -- the parade starts at 9 a.m. at the corner of Lakeshore Road East and Reynolds Street, and continues west along Lakeshore and then north along Kerr Street.
