⛄ Snowman Challenge Winner! ⛄

A huge congratulations to the McCandless Family from Amherstview for building the BIGGEST snowman we received — and officially winning our Snowman Challenge 🏆

We also want to say thank you to everyone who sent in photos. The creativity (and snow-shovelling endurance 😅) was incredible, and it was awesome seeing so many families getting outside and having fun.

🎁 The McCandless family will be receiving their BONUS Tim Hortons gift cards — more hot coffee well earned.

Keep an eye out… we’ve got more fun community challenges coming soon.
