A Hamilton tradition
A legacy of kindness.
A mission that continues.
Operation Santa Claus was founded by the inspiring Jimmy Lomax and carried for years by Corus Entertainment. His vision was simple but powerful: every child should have a toy in their hands at Christmas.
Today the Rotary Club of Hamilton, serving our community since 1913, carries that mission forward. We collect new, unwrapped toys and share them with local children so that no child goes without the magic of Christmas.
