Get your spot in the Rogers Santa Claus Parade — November 19, 2006 A wonderful holiday tradition!
It’s not looking a lot like Christmas just yet, but business and community groups that want to be part of the 2006 Rogers Santa Claus Parade on November 19 should apply now, because the parade’s 60 spots are filling fast! The televised parade, which is produced by Rogers Video, Rogers Wireless and Rogers Radio Vancouver and has "The Spirit of Giving" as its theme, will feature 60 different bands, floats and community groups that will entertain crowds of up to 300,000 along Georgia and Howe Streets. "We’re only in our third year and already the parade has become a family tradition as we head into the holiday season," explained Chuck van der Lee, president and CEO of Rogers Video. "Our success is a direct result of the community and corporate sponsors who take part and help provide the floats, bands and street entertainers that give the parade its colour and excitement as it makes its way along Georgia and Howe Streets."
In true holiday spirit and Rogers Santa Claus Parade tradition, families will once again be encouraged to bring toys and food for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society and Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau. Last year, 9,500 pounds of food and 2,300 toys were collected by parade volunteers. Santa returns to downtown Vancouver at 1 p.m. on Sunday, November 19 for the third annual Rogers Santa Claus Parade. For parade participant packages and general information, please contact Beth Thompson at 604-646-3573. |
