Festive spirit

Santa Claus returns to Prince Albert

Nov 30, 2024 | 5:06 PM

Despite the frigid temperature, dozens of families lined Central Ave. on Saturday for the annual Santa Claus parade.

There was free hot chocolate provided and plenty of colourful floats to keep people distracted from the fact jack frost was nipping at their nose.

After the short parade, Santa Claus was dropped off at the Gateway Mall, where he made himself available for all the excited children.
