Collingwood Downtown announces Santa Claus Parade Winners

Collingwood Downtown announces Santa Claus Parade Winners



It was an unseasonably warm day for this year’s edition of Collingwood Downtown’s Santa Claus Parade. It was also the first time in many years that the parade was staged in the evening as the finale of a day filled with Christmas celebrations.


Many commercial businesses, non-profit organizations, and youth groups presented entries that celebrated the theme of “Home for the Holidays”. The night scene was filled with music and lights as the magic of the Christmas season was experienced by record crowds for the event. Thanks to all the participants and congratulations to the winners.


Category winners are:

INDUSTRIAL / COMMERCIAL – First Place –RBC Royal Bank & RBC Dominion Securities; Second Place – Balloon Expressions; Third Place – Huronia Alarm & Fire Security

SERVICE CLUBS / NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS – First Place - Georgian Triangle Humane Society; Second Place – Journey Community Church; Third Place – COATV

YOUTH – First Place – First Presbyterian Church - Youth; Second Place – Elephant Thoughts; Third Place – Girl Guides of Canada & Scouts Canada

A special thank you is extended to all the sponsors, volunteers, and entries for making this year’s parade such a great success.
