Hot off the presses and just in time for Christmas, the Township of 91原创 Firefighters 2018 charity calendar is now available at participating Shoppers Drug Marts in 91原创.

This is the second year 91原创 firefighters have teamed up with LAPS and their rescue animals to create a calendar featuring Township firefighters, their pets and adoptable kittens, cats and dogs from the 91原创 shelter.

鈥淲e posed with our own pets and some of the pets available for adoption at LAPS. Our charitable society wanted to do a fun, family-friendly calendar that supported our charitable society and LAPS, and the response from the public has been great,鈥 said Township firefighter Steve McLay, who spearheaded the calendar idea.

鈥淲e just love this fundraiser and they raised so much for the animals of 91原创 last year. We can鈥檛 wait to see this year鈥檚 calendar photographed by the talented Trav+Ash, of course,鈥 said Jayne Nelson, LAPS executive director.

Last year鈥檚 calendar raised $2,400 for LAPS. The Township of 91原创 Firefighters Charitable Society presented Nelson with the cheque at this year鈥檚 sold-out LAPS gala held in November.

The calendars are $10 and partial proceeds from the sales will go to LAPS.

鈥淒uolynx Design and Printing did a great job with putting together the calendar for us, and Trav+Ash Photography did all the photos,鈥 said McLay.
