Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign raises more than $28,000 for student activity fund

Jun 4, 2026 | 3:30 PM

A Tim Hortons fundraising campaign in the Battlefords and Meadow Lake has raised $28,610 for the Living Sky Innovation Fund’s Everyone Can Play initiative.

The funds will help Living Sky School Division students participate in extracurricular activities by covering costs such as registration fees, travel and equipment.

The money was raised during this year’s Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign, held April 27 to May 3, through the efforts of local restaurant owners Glenn Isaac and Marion Michnik, along with support from customers in the Battlefords and Meadow Lake.

Launched last fall, the Everyone Can Play initiative has already helped more than 60 students across the division access activities including sports, robotics, drama and other school clubs.

“Feedback from schools has been incredibly positive, with more students able to get involved and try new activities,” said Christeena Fisher, coordinator of the Living Sky Innovation Fund. “These funds are helping create opportunities for students to participate in everything from athletics to robotics, drama and a variety of clubs.”

“Students are at the center of everything we do,” said Brenda Vickers, director of education with Living Sky School Division. “It’s special to see our community come together through a campaign like this to support kids. Knowing these funds will help remove barriers and give more students the chance to participate and belong makes this partnership with our local Tim Hortons locations truly meaningful.”

The annual Smile Cookie campaign raised a record $23.3 million this year for nearly 700 charities and community groups across Canada and the United States.
