Get ready for a delicious showdown!
The Town of Coaldale is going cookie-to-cookie with the Town of Taber in a friendly competition to see who can sell the most Tim Hortons Smile Cookies during this year’s Smile Cookie Week, taking place from April 27 to May 3, 2026.
This annual fundraising initiative supports over 600 local charities, hospitals, and community groups across Canada. Last year, Tim Hortons guests helped raise nearly $18.8 million—contributing to the Smile Cookie legacy of over $129 million raised since the campaign launched in 1996.
In Coaldale, 100% of the proceeds from Smile Cookie sales will go directly to Family and Community Support Services (FCSS)—an organization that plays a vital role in delivering preventative social programs and services that enhance the well-being of individuals and families in the community.
The challenge was initiated after Town of Coaldale Mayor Jack Van Rijn accepted a lighthearted but meaningful dare from Town of Taber Mayor Andrew Prokop: whichever town sells more Smile Cookies during the campaign wins the bragging rights—and more importantly, helps their community in a big way.
The Tim Hortons Smile Cookie is a chocolate chunk cookie topped with a cheerful pink and blue icing smile—and it’s only available for a limited time.
Throughout the week, there will be a number of special activities and community events taking place, including opportunities to stop by, support the campaign, and be part of the fun. Residents are encouraged to pre-order in bulk, visit their local Tim Hortons, and share their support on social media using #SmileCookie and #TeamCoaldale.
For more information, please visit the FCSS website or contact them directly.
Let’s make Coaldale the smiliest town in southern Alberta!
