Advertisement More than 3,000 gift bags have been purchased and handed out to children in northern Manitoba. The gift bags include one orange, two Werther’s Originals, one chocolate, two pieces of gum, a candy cane and a note to let the recipients know they’re being thought of. Falling short of their $50,000 fundraising goal thus far, the gift bags are a means of getting something up to them, key organizer Christopher Henry said. "That was more important than giving them nothing, with the hope that we can get something else up to them after Christmas," he said, adding that all of the gift bags reached children in time for Christmas.
