Excerpt

A young Barrie family is warming up their neighbourhood — and giving back to the community — through a homemade hot chocolate stand raising money for charity. Alex and Ava Marks, along with their mother Leah, will be braving the cold again this Friday between 1 and 3 p.m., as they host their hot chocolate stand outside their Trevino Circle home, near Bayfield and Hanmer streets in north Barrie.
