On behalf of the organizing committee I wish to ‘Thank’ everyone involved with this years Great Parade!
Crowds were upwards of 140,000 people and the feedback has been overwhelming.
Our Total collections will be known this week and then we will ship all the Toys to the Salvation Army shortly thereafter for distribution.
Winning entries are requested to send a representative(s) to the TD Canada Trust branch at St-Joseph Blvd & Orleans Blvd this coming Wednesday at 6PM to receive their Award.
The time and effort by everyone is greatly appreciated and we wish everyone the very best over the Holiday Season.
Bob Rainboth
Chairman, Santa’s Parade of Lights.
