On December 9, more than 18 media representatives and 665 volunteers came together on Gatineau streets and at a number of locations in Ottawa to accept donations for the underprivileged.

What sets this event apart is the involvement of so many media representatives, volunteers and local partners, but also the fact that it is part of a larger initiative that takes place simultaneously in every part of Quebec.

This year, a record amount of $102,000 was raised in our region, and more than $800,000 for all of Quebec. A wonderful example of the generosity of the people of this community.
