Coca-Cola is once again looking to celebrate and reward the kindest community in Canada, and this year the company hopes to make double the impact.
Canada's Kindest Community is part of the Coca-Cola Holiday Caravan tour.
It sees the iconic red Coca-Cola truck, joined by Santa and his elves, bring kindness from coast to coast and spread holiday cheer to Canadians.
"We're proud to spread joy and optimism in communities across Canada," said Tony Chow, President, Coke Canada Bottling. "We believe that now, more than ever, the world needs more kindness and that kindness is contagious. Through Canada's Kindest Community, we've seen firsthand how small acts can inspire meaningful change. It's inspiring to see this program grow and continue to bring communities together."
This is the second year of Canada's Kindest Community Contest, and this time, instead of offering $50,000 to a deserving community, there is a $100,000 prize on offer.
Nominations are open to prove that your community is the most generous in Canada. Submissions will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. on January 1, 2026.
