Hot coffee on a cold day

When Station 12 officers and Calories teamed up for their third annual coffee-serving fundraising event on Dec. 13, they hoped to top last year's success — and they did. Despite freezing, snowy weather conditions, the Ste. Catherine Street restaurant was a busy place that day and a total of $1,876 was raised — up from last year's total of $1,687 — all of which went directly to the Quebec Society for Disabled Children.

"Although there was a lot of snow out there, we still hit our target," said a grateful Pimentel.
