The Easter Bunny will deliver 2,500 Secord Easter Cream Eggs to soldiers stationed in Kandahar.
Needless to say, the troops were happy to hear it.
"Receiving these ... treats is great for the morale of our troops," said Gordon Wells, Canadian Forces Personnel Support Agency Manager of Deployed Operations. "A touch of home around the holiday season means a great deal to all deployed Canadian Forces members who are away from their families."
And, officials at the Mississauga company are pleased they're able to support Canadian troops who are serving overseas.
"Laura Secord is proud of the important contribution and brave efforts being made by members of the Canadian Forces and our hope is to deliver a small but traditional taste of Easter to the Canadian personnel serving in Afghanistan," said president Jamie Ardrey.
