Loving the parade
For many families, taking in the local Santa Claus parade kicks off the holiday season. Christmas wish lists are handed to postal workers, in many locations, donations to local food banks are collected as well and the cast of parading characters hand out goodies to the crowds.
Here is a list of some of the parades to check out in and around the Greater Toronto Area in the next few weeks. Dress warm, bring a blanket and some snacks and welcome Santa to town.
