    Last year, dozens of children benefited from the toy drive initiated by Const. Alyssa Borutski of the Enfield RCMP Detachment.

    This year, the organizers of the Annual Santa Parade and Food Drive through a community neighbourhood will be collecting toys along with food items in Lantz for the cause.

    The parade begins at 5 pm on December 1.
