At Santa’s workshop, Santa’s ‘Elves’ receives, repairs and restores donated new and gently used toys, games, puzzles to redistribute to families needing a little help getting their children some toys and gifts for under the tree.

The Santa’s Workshop has been operating in the Comox Valley for 25 plus years.  There are approximately 65 volunteers who work each year throughout November and December. Last year they gave away toys and bikes to over 660 children and expect to surpass that this year.

“I am very proud of our firefighters to be supporting programs like this in the community.” says Fire Chief Gord Schreiner. “It is organizations like this that make the Comox Valley such a great place to be a part of, and our firefighters are very proud to help give back.”
