Families at the University Hospital of Northern B.C. got a special visit from Santa Claus this morning (Thursday).
St. Nick began his rounds at Paediatrics, dropping gifts off for kids in care.
Spirit of the North Community and Volunteer Coordinator Cynthia Thomson said Santa makes sure every kid gets a gift from him during his visit.
“These toys don’t just get handed out in the Paediatric ward, but they get handed out throughout the areas of the hospital, so maternity, ICU, kids coming through emergency or through family counselling.”
“All of the kids in those areas benefit from a toy.”
Thomson added that Santa got some help from the community putting together toy drives throughout the year, with other toy drives still ongoing throughout Christmas.
She noted their groups for the toy drives are listed on their Facebook page.
