Gift Of Christmas Underway

CHOK's 45th annual Gift of Christmas toy drive was officially launched today at McDonald's Christina St. location.

Donations go to the Salvation Army for its Christmas gift hampers for needy families.

Major Rick Pollard says the need has increased as much as 3 per cent this year.
