With the early start to the snow, the Barrie Police Service has already started collecting donations for the annual Mitten Tree campaign.
Constable Janet Schefter started the Mitten Tree more than 20 years ago, to make sure everyone in our community will be kept warm throughout the winter months.
Officer Janet retired last year, after more than 30 years of policing, but has returned to help organize the 2019 Mitten Tree and pass on the torch to another member of the Barrie Police Service.
If you would like to donate hats, mittens, gloves and scarves to the Mitten Tree campaign, please visit the Barrie Police Service, at one of two locations, 29 Sperling Drive or 60 Bell Farm Road,.
Trees will also be available at the three Zehrs locations in the City of Barrie.
Donations will be accepted up until Monday, December 16.
