“The need in our communities is great once again this year,” said Dwight Irwin, Bruce Power’s Manager of Community Relations. “Our annual fundraiser provides a boost for hundreds of local families through the hard-working organizations that operate these toy and hamper programs, so we encourage everybody to give if they can this holiday season.”

The toy and hamper program fundraiser is part of the annual holiday outreach program, which is a joint effort between Bruce Power and its supplier partners.
