AHS Toys for Tickets program meets record high

Alberta Health Services is celebrating the final tally of their ‘Toys for Tickets’ campaign after participation from the public crossed a new record high.

The Toys for Tickets program ran from November 20th and wrapped up on Friday, where people could bring in new, unwrapped toy donations as an alternative to paying for recently issued parking tickets from AHS parking services across Alberta.

AHS says over 1,200 toys were delivered that will go towards hospital foundations, community partners, and local charities. Toys for Tickets has been an annual holiday program which originated in 2018.
