Nearly 4,000 gifts were handed out to less fortunate families in Calgary on Sunday as part of the annual Calgary Firefighters Toy Association party at the Telus Convention Centre.
President Mark Hagel says this year is a renewed birth for the toy drive, helping almost 2,000 families or 6,000 people.
"I'm probably going to have to put these under the tree and keep the kids off them for another few days," he said. "My favourite part about Christmas is spending time with my family and opening presents on Christmas," said Ross.
