TORONTO (December 13, 2018) – This evening, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared on CTV NEWS AT SIX for CTV Toronto’s TOY MOUNTAIN campaign. The Prime Minister joined CTV Toronto Weather Anchor Tom Brown at this evening’s collection stop at The Pride of Canada Carousel in Markham, ON to help build a mountain of new, unwrapped toys that will help make the season brighter for thousands of children across the GTA.

The 23^rd annual TOY MOUNTAIN campaign in support of The Salvation Army continues with CTV Toronto delivering live donation updates each weeknight on CTV NEWS AT SIX through to the Toy Mountain Finale on Thursday, Dec. 20.

TOY MOUNTAIN looks to surpass last year’s total of 150,000 new unwrapped toy donations, and encourages Torontonians to embrace the spirit of the holidays by donating generously to all age groups.
