Firefighters in St. Catharines are paying it forward following a kind gesture.
As a thank you for their service, the first responders working Canada Day received 150 $10.00 gift cards from Tim Horton's.
Instead of keeping the cards for themselves, they chose to donate them to Community Care of St. Catharines and Thorold.
Community Care is an organization offering support services to help people in the area meet their basic needs.
CEO of Community Care Betty-Lou Souter is thanking the firefighters, saying "This is another example of the compassionate city we live in.”
