The Children’s Aid Society of Simcoe County said thank-you to its partners who helped them have a record setting holiday program in 2014.

Among the recipients of the Emerald Award this year was CTV Barrie and South Simcoe Police.

For weeks generous people dropped off toys, gift cards and money at the CTV station in Barrie and took part in our live toy collection show just before Christmas.

South Simcoe Police was honoured for their efforts with their Stuff a Command Post toy drive.

Combined, CTV Barrie’s Toy Mountain and South Simcoe Police’s Stuff a Command  Post helped collect more than $100,000 in cash and toys.
