Tim Hortons Camp Day was another huge success this year.

The annual event, held on July 19th this year, raised $12.7 million across Canada, with proceeds from hot & iced coffee sales on the day benefitting Tim Hortons Foundation Camps across the country. 

Camp Day was kickstarted in 1987 by 58 restaurant owners in Atlantic Canada who donated 24 hours of sales to the Tim Horton Children's Camp in Tatamagouche, N.S.

The initiative expanded across Tim Hortons restaurants in 1991, dedicated to raising funds for the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps, supporting kids from low-income families to experience life-changing camp adventures.

Over $236 million has been raised since 1991.

Funds raised at Tim Hortons stores in our area will benefit the Tim Hortons Children’s Ranch in Kananaskis, Alberta.
