The City of Kingston By-Law department was also getting in the Christmas spirit and doing its part for children in the community as well.For the last 10 years the municipality has been operating its ‘Toys for Tickets’ program.
Parking tickets handed out in the months of November and December can be paid for with a gift of equal or greater value than the fine on the ticket.“This is the one time of the year we actually see a smile on a person’s face when they’re coming in to pay a ticket,” said Dan Hazell, supervisor of enforcement services for the City of Kingston.
“They have the ticket in their hand and they have a big old toy in the other hand, and we actually get to have that thankful, appreciative moment in time.”
