With Santa’s elves working hard at the North Pole, the Jolly Ol’ Elf himself has some extra time to spend a day in Landmark. 

Skate with Santa at the Landmark Arena on Saturday, December 10th from 1pm to 2:30pm. If you’re looking to stay on the ‘Nice’ list, bring a tin for the bin in support of the local food bank. 

Santa Claus will hang around town for a cheery parade in the evening. 

George MacGregor has been busy working with Santa’s travel team to plan a route that might be like the one the reindeer will take on Christmas Eve. 

MacGregor says the Santa Drive-By event will start at the Heartland Church at 6pm. You can find the map on the RM of Tache website. 

“We’ll be doing the west side of town first,” he says. “It’s about 10 minutes per street. We’re hoping to get all of it done by 7:30pm.” 

While the parade moves through every street, one of the floats will act as a mobile collection site for food donations that will support the Tache Food Bank.
