Canuck Place Children’s Hospice in Abbotsford will receive almost $30,000 from Tim Hortons following their annual Smile Cookie campaign.

The funds raised will go directly to supporting Canuck Place children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.

All 17 Tim Hortons locations in Abbotsford took part in Smile Cookie Week, with restaurant owners donating $1 from every freshly baked chocolate chunk Smile Cookie purchased.

“Communities coming together locally during these difficult times is more important than ever,” says Abbotsford Tim Hortons owner Jocelyn Tomlinson.

“Our restaurant team members, owners and I across all 17 locations in Abbotsford were excited to work with Canuck Place to raise as much as possible to support the critical care they provide to children and families.”
