Cops and donuts right. But let's be honest...

Who doesn't love donuts... and THESE donuts are for a great cause!

So... this Friday to Sunday go to any Tim Hortons and buy as many Special Olympics Ontario donuts as you can. All proceeds will stay local and go towards the 2027 Provincial Winter Games in The City of North Bay

Enjoy a donut, spread the word, and support our local athletes!
