See Santa at one of these parades before he heads back to the workshop

[guest]

Santa Claus will be making personal appearances in several Ottawa neighbourhoods in the coming weeks. Whether you’re attending or not, watch out for road closures and traffic interruptions during the parades.

Grab a thermos of hot chocolate, pack the kids into their snowsuits and watch Santa work his magic to participate in multiple parades across the city all at the same time.
