The City of Orillia invites every person who receives a parking ticket (with the exception of accessible parking violations) in the City of Orillia between Nov. 1 and Dec. 1, 2024 to pay the fine amount by donating a new children’s toy of equal or greater value. Since the annual event started in 2006, more than $46,000 in toys has been donated to local charity groups in lieu of parking tickets.
Toy donations will be accepted at the Orillia City Centre, Finance Division, 1st Floor, 50 Andrew Street South, Orillia, until Monday, December 2, 2024 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Toys will not be accepted after this date.
The new toy must be unwrapped and in its original packaging. Gift cards will not be accepted. The toy’s receipt and the parking violation must be presented at the time of payment and value of the toy must be equal to or exceed the amount owing on the fine.
Toys collected will be donated to the local chapter of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orillia and District, Couchiching Jubilee House and The Salvation Army.
