For 15 years, the Canadian Toy Association (CTA) has been on a mission to ensure that distance and sub-zero temperatures are no barrier to holiday joy. The Toys for the North (T4N) 2025 campaign has now wrapped up, and once again, the Canadian Toy Association—in partnership with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Canadian Forces 8 Wing CFB Trenton, Gardewine Group, North Star Air Limited, and Thomson Terminals Limited—has proudly helped bring holiday cheer to children in some of Canada’s most remote communities. These special gifts are now officially on their way, travelling across snow and ice to ensure they arrive in time for that very special day.
The Canadian toy industry companies donated $694,829.42 worth of toys during this year’s 15th annual Toys for the North initiative.
