Every year, McDonald’s Canada franchisees and crew across the country host McHappy Day, an annual day of community giving to support Ronald McDonald House Charities and other local children’s charities across Canada.
This year’s fundraiser is taking on Wednesday, May 11, 2022.
Locally, the family of Seth Nottley, a Port Lambton student, is promoting McHappy Day in the community.
Seth’s grandma, Wallaceburg’s Sheila Harris, told the Sydenham Current that the Ronald McDonald House helped her grandson when he was in the hospital.
Dana Haggith caught up with Harris was an interview. Listen, below:
