Record-breaking McHappy Day

By Rosalind Russell – McHappy Day was a record-breaking success across the country.

McDonald’s Canada says over $11.3 million was raised for Ronald McDonald House Charities and other local children’s charities in communities across Canada. 

Locally, Elliot Lake raised $5,341 and Espanola $4,552, both exceeding their totals from last year, Elliot Lake by just over $2,000 and Espanola over a $1,000.

Officials say each purchase made last Thursday contributed to the record-breaking fundraising total, showing how small actions can make a big difference to support families when they need it most. 

This year marked the 31st McHappy Day in Canada, bringing the grand total to over $111.3 million raised to-date.
