Thanks to Canada Day Parade revellers, the Drumheller Fire Department was able to fill their boots.

In an annual tradition, the Fire Department walks the parade route each year collecting donations to donate to Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

This year they were able to collect $4,580 and last week present the funds to Amanda Race, revenue development manager for Muscular Dystrophy Canada, Alberta-NWT region.

She explains that 27 departments in Alberta participate in the Boot Drive and last year raised over $350,000

Drumheller has been a big supporter of the Boot Drive, and firefighter Mitch Smith tells The Mail over the last 10 years the Drumheller Department has raised $46,056.64.
