SGC Admin: Yes folks it’s that time of year again, when the little elves are in crunch time and Santa is getting excited about making his rounds… :) 

Check out the Christmas Santa Clause Parades list below to find out when he is coming to a town near you.. :) We regret we didn’t post this list earlier, as we missed the Pickering/Ajax parade as it kicked off the season this past Saturday November 9 2013, but we are sure it was a big hit any way.. :)
