Firefighter’s Christmas Eve Santa Tour a go
Approval has been given at the highest levels in Victoria today, allowing Santa Claus’ annual tour of Cranbrook to go ahead Christmas Eve.
Over the past several weeks, staff has been working closely with the office of Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer to ensure Santa’s tour is done safely and follows all the provincial guidelines.
Dr. Henry advises, “although Santa is most likely ‘immune’ to COVID-19, it is still important that he and his team remain healthy.”
Santa will not be able to accept any kind offerings of holiday treats from the public. Kids – young and old – are also asked to please respect the physical distancing guidelines when you are outside greeting him as he comes through your neighbourhood. Please do not approach the sleigh.
