Local first responders helping Santa with Cram the Cruiser event

First responders and the local Walmart in Squamish are preparing for the return of Cram the Cruiser in support of the Squamish Community Christmas Care.

On November 27, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., local RCMP and Fire Rescue will be at the parking lot at 39210 Discovery Way to collect donations of toys, food, gift cards, and/or money for the cause.

If community members wish to donate and are looking for specific ideas for necessaries, food items that contribute to a holiday meal will be appreciated, as will other foods including canned vegetables and fruit, healthy snacks like crackers, granola bars, or fruit cups, and coffee and tea.

Our goal is to fill the back equipment and back seat areas of at least two police cruisers, says Corporal Angela Kermer of Sea to Sky RCMP. Weather and the pandemic put our last two years participation on hold, and this year, we're expanding our efforts with other first responders as we provide some support to those who may be in need.

Anyone with any information regarding any file is asked to contact the Squamish RCMP at 604-892-6100, or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or go to the website www.solvecrime.ca
