This year's theme is the "C hristm as Around the World" and our 67 entries and ten bands are sure not to disappoint. Starting at 9 a.m., the parade will start at MacDonald and Reynolds Streets, and run south along Reynolds Street to Lakeshore Road, running west to Navy Street and will proceed north bound to Rebecca, and then east to Kerr Street to finish at Stewart Street. The operating budget for the parade is in excess o f $10,000 which is donated solely by our sponsors. The Santa Claus Parade Com m ittee w ishes to thank all the sponsors who helped get Santa to Town this year, with a special mention to our Gold Sponsors: Legend November 2 Creek Homes. Sobeys, Moen, Petro Canada and Mattamy Homes. While each year we hope that the weather co-operates, we do suggest parade watchers come prepared with warm clothes, blankets, and a carafe o f something hot to drink. D on't forget to bring a new unw rapped toy for the Toy Drive and a non-perishable food item for the Food Drive. Kids o f all ages will want to make sure they buy their " red nose" from the Fun Group of Family and Friends o f Falgarwood who are donating all proceeds to the Cardiac program at the hospital. Children w on't want to forget their letter to Santa. Carriers from Canada Post will be at the front o f the parade collect ing letters and will make sure they get to Santa in plenty o f time before Christmas Day. Sales o f food and other items has always been a traditional part o f the Santa Claus Parade. All food vendors intending to operate a refreshment vehicle at the parade must obtain a class "C " Refreshm ent Vehicle License. The application cost will be $50.00 per event per vehicle and must be registered with the Town prior to the parade. Police and By-Law officers will be on site at the parade. Any vendor who does not have the appropri ate license and/or documentation may be sub ject to a summons and will be asked to leave the premises.

Joining Santa Claus will be one o f the la te s t groups in the history o f the parade including floats, bands, and costum ed entertainers representing numer ous local business, service clubs and community groups. Once again, the overall best entry will win a grand prize o f $500. For groups that are either charities or non-profits, the prize money will be directly donated to the group. Commercial entries will be able to donate the prize money to the charity o f their choice. The Santa Claus parade demonstrates the spirit o f community. Nestled at the heart o f the parade are the numerous volunteers that give o f their time each year to bring this important tradition to Oakville. In most cases the w on derful floats and other forms o f entertainment seen during the parade has been planned, organized, and built by the dedicated volun teers o f each group. Many hours o f prepara tion goes into each entry, with some groups working madly right up to the night before the parade, ready to showcase their creation to the many spectators that line the dow ntow n streets.
