Toys for Tots

Neil Rachynski
NEWS REPORTER

The Christmas spirit is alive
and well.

One need look no further than
the effort made by the Emergency
Response Team at the Celgar ex-
pansion site.

ERT fire chief Rolf Thomsen
said $2,100 was raised for the
Castlegar Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment’s Christmas Toy Drive.

The 10-member team, along
with donations from various con-
tractors and individuals, raised
another $300 for the Royal Cana-
dian Legion Branch 170’s food
hampers.

“We thought we should do
something for Christmas,” Thom-

sen said. “(Project safety officer)
Pat Patterson helped a lot.”

Thomsen said the team mem-
bers donated their call-out checks
for November, which are issued
from volunteer time on-call.

“November was a really good
month,” Thomsen.

A donation jar was also set up
and even empties and pop bottles
were taken in.

But the $2,100 wasn’t just tak-
en in as cash. The team went ona
one-hour shopping spree and blew
the works on toys.

Castlegar fire chief Gerry Rem-
ple said the toys from the ERT was
“certainly a boost” He said he’s
happy with the overall community
response.

The local fire department will

be accepting toys for its drive until
Friday. The legion will be handing
out the toys along with its food
hampers.

Members of the expansion site’s

ERT are Rolf Thomsen, Pat Pat-
terson, Dan Lacasse, Bill Berki,
Scott Taylor, Willie Snaden, Scott
Snaden, Joe Spear, Chris Beere
and Lee Brundige.
