The Town of New Tecumseth’s annual Toys for Tickets campaign returns this holiday season.

This is a chance for residents to pay eligible parking tickets with a toy donation while supporting local youth and families.

If you receive an eligible parking ticket issued between Nov. 15 and 29, you can pay the ticket by donating a new, unwrapped toy of equal or greater value than the amount of the ticket.

Donations for eligible parking tickets will be accepted until Dec. 10, 2026.

To participate, bring a new unwrapped toy in its original packaging, your purchase receipt, and your eligible parking ticket to the Town administration centre.

The program applies to eligible parking tickets.

Parking violations related to accessible parking spaces and fire routes are not eligible for the Toys for Tickets program.

All toys collected through this year’s campaign will be distributed through the Lions Clubs Christmas Hamper program and My Sister’s Place, to help bring some extra joy to local youth and families this holiday season.

You can drop off your toys at Town Hall, 24 Tupper Street West, in Alliston from Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
