Southern Georgian Bay Airboat Rescue

🎉 $350,000 RAISED — THE AIRBOAT IS OFFICIALLY HAPPENING! 🎉
Today we proudly handed over the giant, comically oversized cheque to Tay Township, and honestly… it felt like the finale of a feel-good movie. If there had been dramatic music playing, none of us would’ve questioned it.

To every single person who donated, shared, supported, cheered us on, or simply tolerated us talking about airboats nonstop for years THANK YOU.❤️ You made this dream real.

This wasn’t just fundraising.
This was a full-blown community movement.

✨ The cookie buyers & decorators
✨ Airboat Hoodies
✨ Pulling fire trucks
✨ The people who opened their wallets, their hearts, and gave us their time.

All of YOU brought us to $350,000.
All of YOU made this airboat a reality.

This boat will save lives.
It will help our firefighters.
It will protect our bay and our community.
And it happened because we all leaned in, linked arms, and said,
“Let’s do something incredible.”

To Tay Fire & Emergency Services your community believes in you, supports you, and is pretty excited to see this new magical ice-gliding, water-skimming superhero machine in action! Hurt on the bay call on Tay!!!

From our whole team:
Thank you, Southern Georgian Bay.
Your generosity, spirit, and heart blow us away every single time.

They say it takes a village… but in Waubaushene, it takes a sugar-fueled squad of legends with heart and kindness!❤️

To our incredible volunteers: you’ve rolled, smiled, sprinkled, and sold your hearts out for the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign — all to support our local Southern Georgian Bay Airboat Rescue.

You’ve turned cookies into rescue equipment, and coffee breaks into community impact. You are the dough-lightful heroes we never knew we needed (but are SO glad we have).

Thank you for giving your time, your energy, and probably part of your sanity. We see you. We love you. And we promise… one day the smell of icing will fade from your clothes.

Now let’s finish strong — pre-order, pick up, and pass those cookies along!
