2025 Fort St. John Smile Cookie campaign launches following thousands of pre-orders

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Fort St. John residents have already ordered more than 6,000 Smile Cookies from Tim Hortons to support their local hospital foundation.

The restaurant chain’s annual Smile Cookie campaign runs from April 28th to May 4th.

Like past years, the campaign sees special chocolate chunk cookies sold at Tim Hortons’ locations across Canada for $2, with all the proceeds going towards local charities and nonprofit organizations like the Fort St. John Hospital Foundation.

In 2024, the campaign sold more than 9,000 cookies in the city and raised over $14,000 for the foundation, surpassing the record-breaking $10,100 raised by the 2023 iteration of the campaign. 

This year, the foundation accepted pre-orders for the first time and set a goal of selling 11,316 cookies.

According to executive director Kelly Amboe, more than 6,000 cookies have been sold so far as of 4 p.m. on April 28th.

Following Smile Cookie week, the hospital foundation will be hosting another annual fundraising event called Bluey Day.
