City running ‘Toys for Tickets’ campaign to support Interval House
Got a ticket? Give a toy.
The City of North Battleford is launching a new campaign where people who receive parking tickets can have the option to either pay their ticket at City Hall or donate a new toy with the receipt of purchase in the amount valued at $20 or more to City Hall. The amount will be based on their actual ticket price or the penalty discount if it’s before the deadline.
City of North Battleford Director of Protective Services Lindsay Holm, who proposed the idea at council’s meeting Monday, said in his report that from Christmas to New Year’s, the city’s Community Safety Officers (CSOs) customarily place a warning letter on vehicles found to be contravening the city’s Traffic Bylaw rather than issue tickets, in the holiday spirit.
This year the city wants to try something new instead.
