AHS reports record year for Toys for Tickets campaign

Alberta Health Services (AHS) is reporting a record year for a holiday campaign.

November 2023 saw the return of AHS’ Toys For Tickets campaign, which allows those who get parking tickets at AHS facilities to pay for it by purchasing a new toy to be donated.

The campaign began accepting toys on November 6 and ended on December 15. In 2023, AHS reported that more than 870 toys were collected province wide for the campaign, shattering last year’s number of 470.

Around 50 toys were collected in Red Deer, and will be distributed by the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation to children staying at the hospital.
