Toys for Tickets

AHS Thanks Donors to Toys For Tickets Campaign

Alberta Health Services (AHS) thanks everyone who donated to the Toys for Tickets campaign, which gave people who received an AHS parking ticket an opportunity to donate a toy rather than pay their fine. Thanks to their generosity more than 470 toys were collected across the Province and will put a smile on a child face this holiday season.


In keeping with the holiday spirit, Alberta Health Services (AHS) is bringing back the Toys for Tickets campaign, which gives people who’ve recently received an AHS parking ticket an opportunity to donate a new, unwrapped toy rather than paying their fine.

Anyone who received an AHS parking ticket at many AHS parking facilities (visit ahs.ca for list) between November 14 and December 12, 2022 can take a new toy and their ticket to the local AHS parking office. AHS parking staff will mark the ticket as paid and the toys will be donated to various children organizations and local charities throughout Alberta that provide toys for children.

Toys will be accepted under the following conditions:

  • Ticket must have been issued between November 14, 2022 and December 12, 2022.
  • Toys must be new and in original package, unwrapped and for ages newborn to 17
  • Of similar value to the amount owed on the parking ticket (value of each toy must be at least $25).
  • No toys will be accepted after December 16.

Toys can be dropped off at any parking office during office hours from November 21 to December 16, 2022. Visit our Parking page for AHS parking office hours and locations..

For more information, please call AHS Parking Services at 1-855-535-1100.

Please note: AHS parking offices cannot accept any cash donations; toys only.
