Xavier Duquay had the time of his life having a fake snowball fight with Toronto Police at the annual Rotary Club of Toronto Christmas party yesterday.
"The best part was throwing snowballs at the police, but they didn't get me," Xavier, who is 7 and has cystic fibrosis, said while waiting to get his picture taken with Santa.
"I don't know what I'm going to ask Santa for, but I do like race cars."
Xavier was one of 600 people at the party which included children with disabilities and their families.

Welcome: Members and Guests;
Regrets: Charmaine, Nina, Shannon, Colin;
TODAY’S SPEAKER:
Bert Steenburgh: Bert is in favor of strenghtening the networking between our two clubs. He will send us a list of the GS attending the next Rotary luncheons, in case Rotaractors are interested. We suggested a Rotarian should be appointed to host Rotaractors at their luncheons so that we don’t feel like strangers.
