Santa. Parade. Ottawa. (New info for 2009!)
Posted by andrea tomkins in: - Ottawa for kids|Ottawa|Yaktivism
Mark your calendars because the date of the Ottawa Help Santa Toy Parade has been announced. This year it’s going to be on December 5th, 2009 ! I know it’s early yet but I am TOTALLY EXCITED.
Did you know that the Ottawa Santa Claus parade is celebrating its 40th anniversary?
Please note, there are some changes this year:
- The parade is going to be in the evening instead of the daytime (the new start time is 6:00 p.m.)
- There’s apparently a new route, so check the website before you go
- Due to numerous unsuitable used toys that have been dropped off along the parade route over the years, they will be no longer accepting used toys of any kind. Used toys can be dropped off at Salvation Army thrift stores. NEW toys will be collected along the route and at any Ottawa Fire Station from November 21 to December 19, 2009
Can’t make it to the parade but still want to donate? There’s an online donation feature at their official website.
