Found out from their daughter late last night actually early this morning (2ish) that they took their travel trailer and when they stopped in Jasper for lunch and fuel the locals found out what they were doing showed up with toys and books that they loaded into the trailer and when they were leaving Jasper they were told to stop in Edson for more donations.

They stopped at the Rextall centre and while they weren't allowed in for obvious reasons they left about half the kids toys and about a quarter of the animal toys at the centre and spent all day long letting the kids play with the dogs and the adults petting the cats and listening to the stories and getting hugs from the evacuees with gratuitous thank you's as well and there were so many volunteers there from all over Alberta and Canada as well.

They are driving up to Lac La Biche today to deliver more toys and bring some much needed release of emotions

Sounds like a good trip, and a good experience for the kids too.

The local radio group called Rawlco Radio amassed almost $750,000 in cash donations in a single day Radiothon called Saskatoon Day of Caring.
