Sunday evening was the closing of our Tim Hortons Cookie Campaign. It was a very busy week to say the least but it honestly was so much fun.
To have most of our department members show up and be there was amazing. However we are a small department and needed help and our comunity, family, friends, other department members, our MLA Jill Balse, Town Warden Linda Gregory , Peter Scherer - Municipal Councillor, Digby Neck & Islands, even two of Tim Hortons employees Crystal Stewart and Alison Mann donated their days off to help us make this the success it was, how amazing is that.
Thank you to my wife Edna O'neill "department secretary " for applying for this opportunity and doing all the organizing to make this work. A special thank you to Wallie DeVries and Tegan Theriault for showing up all 7 days with a smile, it is greatly appreciated.
It honestly warms my heart and amazes me what a small department like ours is capable of.
Thank you to each and every volenteer weather is was volenteering 7 days or 1 hr it was a help much appreciated. Thank to Theresa and Chris Joyce for choosing us out of all the other well deserving applicants, you gave us the chance of a life time. Thank you to all of the Tim Hortons staff who pushed those cookies out the door and drive through windows, and put up with us being in your space, you are all a very hard working team.
Last but not least a huge thank you to all you cookie loving people who purchased these cookies day after day, none of it would have mattered without you.
I honestly could go on and on about how proud I am to be the Chief of this department and a member of this community but it would be a long read. Lol

Here is our results
Small Tim Hortons came in number one in the region for sales. Big Store came in number 3 in the region.
Small store came in NUMBER 1 IN CANADA AND REGION for upselling. The big store came in number 2. Both stores came in the top 3. HOW AMAZING IS THAT FOR A SMALL TOWN!!!!!!!

I was told this was the largeat campaign to date for Digby.
Between the 2 stores we sold $25,092.00 making our share for the department $12,546.00..
How amazing is that.
We also received $1,066.30 in donations making our grand total
$13,612.30

We the department thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
