On Thursday, March 8^th, The Salvation Army Ontario Central East Division hosted their annual Toy Mountain Appreciation and Awards dinner at the Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham, Ontario. Emceed by Tom Brown, Weather Anchor of CTV News Toronto, this night was filled with laughter and excitement. As the sounds of melody filled the event space, guests were greeted at the door, where they were guided to the Toy Mountain red carpet for photos and later escorted to their table.

This night was incredibly special as it celebrated and recognized our many Toy Mountain sponsors and supporters. It is only because of extraordinary people like them that Toy Mountain is able to carry on year after year and continue to spread joy and hope to families across the Greater Toronto Area. Whether supporters sponsored, volunteered, donated toys, or even hosted toy drives, The Salvation Army and CTV team are incredibly grateful for the continued support. Last but not least, a very special thank you to the CTV team as, without them, this campaign would not be possible.
