Keep up with everything happening at Tbaytel

Since 2015, Tbaytel has marked December 1st to 12th with the Tbaytel 12 Days of Christmas campaign, a time to celebrate the season and give back to the communities we serve. The 2025 campaign marks the 10th anniversary of this initiative, through which we deliver surprises, support organizations across northern Ontario, and make the holidays a little more merry and bright.

"The holiday season is a special time for Tbaytel to recognize and give back to the communities we serve," said Amy Meunier, Tbaytel’s Vice President, Sales, Marketing & Communication. "Our 12 Days of Christmas initiative is all about spreading unexpected joy and positivity, hoping that these acts of kindness will brighten someone's day and encourage a spirit of giving across the region."

This year, Tbaytel supported not-for-profits across our region with donations, surprise Christmas parties, gifts, free gas, meal deliveries, and employee volunteers. Tbaytel and its Authorized Dealers also popped up in nearly a dozen locations around our communities to surprise people with gift cards and much-needed donations. Additionally, we ran a special feature on our social media platforms where each day we posted a Christmas trivia question, and followers who answered correctly first received a $100 gift certificate to Intercity Shopping Centre.

For 2025, Tbaytel’s 12 Days of Christmas included the following surprises:

Day One – Tbaytel 12 Days of Christmas kicked off at SPG Marathon, our Marathon Tbaytel store staff surprised customers with free gas!

Day Two – We went to the Regional Food Distribution Association (RFDA) and helped make 8000 cookies for Christmas Cheer hampers and made a $3500 donation to the organization.
