The Canadian Toy Association (CTA) has joyfully participated in the Toys for the North (T4N) charitable drive since 2010 in partnership with the RCMP and Thomson Terminals Limited.
Every Child Deserves a Holiday-Season Toy
2025 Toys for the North
This year is the 15th anniversary of the Toys for the North campaign. Once again, we are asking you – Canada’s Toy Manufacturing and Distribution Community - for your much-needed support to help bring the gift of a holiday season toy to Canada’s most northern communities.
The Toys for the North campaign is a 100% volunteer-run initiative supported by:
- The Canadian Toy Association
- Thomson Terminals
- Royal Canadian Mounted Police
- RCMP Veterans’ Association
- Canadian Forces 8 Wing CFB Trenton
- Thunder Bay RCMP partners with North Star Air Ltd. and Gardewine
Together, we donate, collect, fly, and ground transport toys to children and families in need located in Canada’s most northern and remote communities in parts of Labrador, Manitoba, Nunavut, and Ontario, who often cannot access or afford children’s toys.
This year, the CTA wants to make the Toys for the North charitable drive its biggest donation year ever and has set a goal to surpass last year’s $615,043.81 (28,111 pieces) worth of brand-new toys from our members.
What you can do:
The Canadian Toy Association is asking all companies involved in the sales, manufacturing, and distribution of toys to generously donate non-battery-powered toys (Canada’s northern communities often cannot afford or access batteries), with or without the toy’s accessories, by completing the donation form attached.
Please email your T4N Donation Form to info@canadiantoyassociation.ca by Wednesday, November 25, 2025.
Arrangements will be made to have all donations picked up by Thomson Terminals or shipped to Thomson Terminals by Friday, November 28, 2025.
