We’re halfway through Smile Cookie Week—Get Yours Now! 🍪

From April 28 to May 4, every Tim Hortons® Smile Cookie sold in Ottawa helps support The Snowsuit Fund, providing warm, high-quality snowsuits to local children who need them most.

This year’s campaign kicked off with a heartwarming launch event at the Greenbank Road Tim Hortons, celebrating the community partnerships that make a real difference. It’s a powerful reminder that even something as simple as a cookie can help spark real change.
