Western Communities Foundation Launches National “Grant a Wish” Holiday Toy Drive
The holiday season is a time for giving, and this year, Western Communities Foundation is proud to launch its first-ever National “Grant a Wish” Holiday Toy Drive, running from November 12 to December 15, 2025.
Our goal? Collect 2,000 new, unwrapped toys to bring joy and comfort to children in need across Canada. Select Western Financial Group branches nationwide will serve as collection points, each partnering with a local charity to ensure donations meet the unique needs of their communities.
Why This Matters
“At Western, care and compassion are at the heart of everything we do,” said Nancy Green-Bolton, Chief Operating Officer of Western Financial Group and Chair of Western Communities Foundation. “This toy drive is more than a seasonal campaign, it’s a reflection of our commitment to being there in moments that matter.”
From dolls and books to building sets and games, every donation helps lift the spirits of children and provides relief to families during the festive season.

- Drop off a new, unwrapped toy at a participating Western Financial Group branch between November 12-December 15
