Santa Claus is coming to town to tour Cranbrook with the help of the local fire department on Christmas Eve.
The City of Cranbrook confirmed the news with the elf PR team that Jolly Old Saint Nick will be making the rounds on Dec. 24.
Fire and Emergency Services directed Scott Driver says it’s always their pleasure to assist Sinterklaas as he scouts out the neighbourhoods.
“The Cranbrook Firefighters are so happy to continue this tradition, as there are generations of families that make a point to come out and get a quick glimpse of Santa on Christmas Eve,” said Driver.
“We are grateful that Santa’s tour on Christmas Eve continues to be part of so many cherished family memories.”
