We know there were many children who did not get to see Santa at the Drive-By Celebration. Luckily, there is another safe way to see Santa this year! Visit https://thesantamission.ca/our-events for more information and to book. You can book an exclusive, socially-distanced visit with Santa where you will get to talk to him and take photos. Santa also offers free Facetime calls for another safe way to enjoy the magic of the holiday season. Space is limited.
