Hopefully, this program will help take the sting out of getting a ticket. The City of North Battleford says between December 1st and 19th, if you get a parking ticket from Community Safety Officers in North Battleford then you can choose to pay the fine by donating a new toy of equal or higher value.

Early payment discounts are still applicable. Donors should bring unwrapped toys, along with the purchase receipt, to City Hall and the donations will be taken to the Battlefords Interval House.

Parking tickets range from $20-$60 depending on if they are paid prior to the discount period deadline.
