Secret Santa Shoppe Is Open For Business

The Secret Santa Shoppe is back for its tenth year at Pathways Health Centre for Children.

Spokesperson Tracy Drysdale says they typically hand out 5,000 prewrapped gifts a year, with nothing worth more than $10.

She says some items are donated, but they purchase most of them.
