RCMP Toy Drive:
The Richmond RCMP Toy Drive and Pancake Breakfast returns to Ironwood Plaza for the third year in a row.
This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever, but the main idea remains the same. Stop by Ironwood between 8 a.m. and noon, donate a new toy or book to the Richmond Christmas Fund (or make a minimum $5 cash donation), and get treated to a free pancake breakfast.
As the toys come in, they’ll be stuffed inside an RCMP squad car, with the goal of filling it up by morning’s end.
For the first time, the Richmond Public Library will be participating in the event, adding to the festive atmosphere by reading holiday-themed children’s stories.
