Local Tim Hortons patrons were generous to the tune of $42,124.42 during the chain's Smile Cookie campaign.

Proceeds from the cookies sold during the campaign, which ran Sept. 16-22, will go to the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation for purchase of a new video laryngescope for University Hospital of Northern British Columbia. It provides a less invasive form of intubation and is used of neonatal patients and children.

"We are extremely grateful to Tim Hortons in Prince George, along with everyone who supported the event by purchasing a cookie - or two," said Foundation CEO Judy Neiser. "This brings their total to date to just shy of $400,000 over the 17 years that this campaign has been running with all funds directed to improve health outcomes for pediatric patients in the north."
