TOY MOUNTAIN IS BACK FOR ANOTHER YEAR!
2026 marks the 31st year of the CTV Toy Mountain Campaign, supporting The Salvation Army.Every year, we invite businesses, schools, organizations, community groups, and CTV viewers to collect and donate toys to local families in need.
As a growing number of Canadians struggle amid the increasing cost of living and financial uncertainty, the generosity of your gifts and financial donations will help bring smiles to children’s faces not only this holiday season, but all year round.
Please send your photos and videos for a chance to have them appear on-air on CTV News at Six. We will also share your contributions on our social media platforms. You can email us at toy.mountain@bellmedia.ca.
