Cornwall Transit Provides Free Rides for Santa Claus Parade

Cornwall Transit buses will offer free transportation during the Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, November 28.

Starting at 3 p.m., rides on all Transit routes will be free.

Residents wishing to tour the Santa Claus Parade on a Transit bus should wait in the Civic Complex parking lot just South of Sydney Street (see map).

Buses will collect 12 to 15 passengers at a time, who must:

• Wear a mask, unless they meet Eastern Ontario Health Unit exemptions,
• Sanitize their hands when they board the bus, and
• Keep their distance from anyone outside their household.

“Cornwall Transit is proud to offer this service free of charge,” said Len Tapp, Transit Division Manager. “The drive-by Santa Claus Parade is sure to be a success this year, and our buses will ensure residents without their own vehicle will be able to enjoy the spirit of the season, too.”

The drive-by parade, organized by the Optimist Club of Cornwall, takes place in the Civic Complex parking lot from 4:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on November 28. Older children and adults are encouraged to come after 7 p.m.

Entrance to the event will be via the western entrance of the Civic Complex, off Water Street.

Keep an eye out for City of Cornwall staff in the parade:

• Cornwall Fire Services staff will be collecting new, unwrapped toys for Sparky’s Toy Drive, and
• Municipal Works trucks will be on display.
