The North Bay Santa Claus Parade, like the annual Halloween event at Fire Station #1, will not be feasible this year, according to the City of North Bay and health officials.
The City of North Bay has officially cancelled this year’s Santa Claus Parade.
“We’re disappointed that these two popular community events can’t be held this year, but it is important that we do everything we can to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and help keep North Bay residents safe and healthy," said Mayor Al McDonald.
The City says staff members are consulting with other municipalities and exploring potential alternatives to the parade.
“We understand that these events are important to our community, however, during these uncertain times we need to ensure that the safety of the public is the top priority,” said Dr. Jim Chirico, Medical Officer of Health for the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit.
