Start the holiday season on the right foot and come out and support the Burnaby Fire Department’s Boot Drive for Muscular Dystrophy Canada this weekend.
The annual event kicks off Friday evening and runs all day Saturday, with firefighters collecting donations at various locations and businesses around the city. Firefighters will be carrying around empty boots, for passersby to fill.
Local firefighters have been participating in the national fundraiser since 1958. Last year, they raised $42,200 for Muscular Dystrophy Canada, adding to the more than $1.25 million the department collected since its first Boot Drive.
