"This would be our third year doing this, and figured why not tie in with the Kinsmen and do some collecting of snowsuits at the same time? It's a perfect partnership," said committee member Jeff Severson.Two groups conquered north- and south-end streets, ahead of the Brockville Winter Classic hockey event scheduled for Feb. 17-20, 2023.
"There are many children in the area that go to school and play outside without winter clothing," said club member Rob Smith. The Brockville police and fire departments escorted the two groups. All food donations will be sorted and given to the Brockville and Area Food Bank. The snowsuit drive continues until Dec. 3.
