The O.P.P. and Lanark County Family and Child Services Angel Tree Program

The Angel Tree program in Lanark County is celebrating 36 years. It continues to be a success, thanks to the generosity and Christmas spirit in Lanark County and the surrounding area. This year, the Lanark County Family and Child Services and the OPP Angel Tree program had 700 angels. Thanks to the generosity of Mississippi Mills residents, all of the "angels" have been spoken for at both the Municipal Office and the Pakenham Library.

The “angels,” assigned to trees, represent children directly affiliated with the Lanark County Family and Child Services or other affiliated programs. The goal is to provide a Christmas gift to each child.

The Municipality of Mississippi Mills Angel tags were available for pick up in two locations: the Municipal office (3131 Old Perth Rd.) as well as the Pakenham Library Branch on (MacFarland St.). Reminder: Gifts must be returned (preferably unwrapped, or in a gift bag) before Friday, December 2, 2022.
