Holiday with a Hero, 2020


The holiday season may be over, but we know of at least seventy-five local kids who will hold memories forever that simply could not have been created without a very large group of true heroes.

A few weeks before Christmas, and very early in the morning, dozens of children started arriving at the Walmart Barrie North. Many of these children had come from homes where the families were struggling in various ways. Some were selected because, due to no fault of their own, the kids had been exposed to police and emergency services through a negative event. Part of the mission today was to let these children see police, soldiers, paramedics, firefighters, and other first responder professionals in a more factual positive light.

Special recognition goes out to:

United Way Simcoe Muskoka

Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions

Barrie Police Service

Ontario Provincial Police

Canadian Forces Base Borden / Base des Forces Canadiennes Borden – Army, Navy, and Air Force

Simcoe County Paramedics of OPSEU Local 303

Barrie Fire And Emergency Service

Barrie YMCA

Walmart Bayfield Barrie North
