Have a coffee and change a life on Tim Hortons Camp Day

Have a coffee and change a life on Tim Hortons Camp Day 100% of all coffee sales on June 5 will give thousands of deserving children a once-in-a-lifetime experience OAKVILLE, ON – June 3, 2013 — Your daily cup of coffee and a donation will make a world of difference to a child in your local community on Wednesday, June 5. Tim Hortons Camp Day – the annual fundraiser that sends economically disadvantaged kids to camp – is back with the goal of sending even more kids to camp. On Camp Day, Tim Hortons restaurant owners generously donate all proceeds from coffee sales to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation (THCF), helping send kids on an unforgettable, fun-filled camping adventure to help inspire them for a better future. Last year alone, thanks to Tim Hortons guests and through the efforts of more than 3,700 Tim Hortons restaurants, a record $11 million was raised in Canada and the United States. More than 15,000 kids were able to experience the life-changing impact of a Tim Horton Children’s camp. “The mission of Tim Horton Children’s Foundation is to help break the cycle of poverty by giving economically disadvantaged children the skills and mindset to aspire for a brighter future,” said Dave Newnham, vice president and executive director, Tim Horton Children’s Foundation. “We’ve seen time and time again that once a child attends our camp, they return home with a more positive attitude and greater confidence about their future. Our goal is to see more of that with more children. And, Camp Day is our single-most important fundraiser to help make that happen.” With their purchase of coffee on June 5, Tim Hortons guests directly impact the children in their local communities who are able to take part in the experience of a lifetime. Guests can also help send even more kids to camp by donating in the following ways: • Text CAMP to 45678 to donate $5 • Online at sendakidtocamp.com • Rent-a-Tent for a $1 donation in restaurant • Rent-a-Cabin for a $5 donation in restaurant “The success of Camp Day, and ultimately the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation, wouldn’t be possible without our loyal guests and the generosity and dedication of Tim Hortons restaurant owners and team members,” added Newnham. Tim Hortons restaurant owners work closely with local youth organizations and schools in their communities to identify those kids in their community who would most benefit from an experience at camp. Most often, this camp experience is the first time a child has travelled outside their town or city or has ever experienced camp. During their stay at a THCF camp, kids participate in a wide range of first-class programs and activities designed to build self-confidence, self-esteem and leadership skills. The powerful life experiences learned at THCF camps come at absolutely no cost to the kids and their families. The Tim Horton Children’s Foundation started in 1975 in Parry Sound, ON with just one camp and 200 kids. It now operates six year-round camps across North America and has served more than 180,000 kids through its innovative year-round programming. Children attend one of three types of programs offered, including a traditional summer camp (ages 9-12), a year-round camp serving schools and youth groups (ages 8-18) in the fall, winter and spring, and a five-level youth leadership program focused on building lifelong leadership skills (ages 13-18). ‘Like’ the THCF on Facebook at facebook.com/timhortonchildrensfoundation and follow @TimHortons on Twitter to join the #CampDay and #THCF conversation.

Wasaga Beach..... Police Enforcing Strict is Fair

OPP making sure everyone is respectful and there are no party poopers

.

Wasaga Beach has been a party place for young people on the 
Victoria Day weekend for years now.But police say they're hoping to keep a lid on damage and drunken behaviour this year with the 'Strict is Fair' program.
Huronia West OPP, which patrols Wasaga, say the program is designed to convince visitors to the town to treat the area with respect. Constable Mark Kinney says people wouldn't think of walking down their own streets carrying a beer, so there's no need to think about walking down the streets of Wasaga Beach with a beer, either.
He says the zero tolerance approach has led to fewer problems on the long weekend in the past few years.
