This year's theme is All I Want for Christmas, and for years the parade has been part of a special story of giving back to our community. Sometimes we get so caught up with the excitement of Christmas, we forget there are many who live in our community who go without over the holidays. Oakville's Santa Claus Parade has a long history of giving with its toy and food drives and the sale of red noses for charity to make our community a better place for those who are struggling. On parade day, the Kinsmen Club of Oakville will collect nonperishable food items for the Salvation Army. a.m., 1:45 p.m. or 4 p.m. In lieu of admission, theatre-goers are asked to bring a donation to support the Oak Park Neighbourhood Centre's Food Drive. Items being accepted include cash donations, non-perishable They encourage everyone to food items and grocery store gift bring at least one non-perishable food item to the parade. Cash donations will also be accepted. The Kinsmen Club is excited to once again partner with Whole Foods Market Oakville, which is providing in-kind support for the food drive. For the first time in 15 years, on a Canadian Big Screen, Encore Cinemas and RetroFestive.ca will present three exclusive screenings of the Christmas classic, A Christmas Story. Please join Encore Oakville Mews Cinemas after the Santa Claus Parade on Nov. 19 at either 11:30 cards. Every parent would agree that the joy on the face of a child on Christmas morning is what memories are made of. But what about those families who struggle to place even one gift under the tree? The Oakville Professional Firefighters firmly believe that every child deserves at least one special gift and so, once again this year, a crew will be on hand to accept new, unwrapped toys from parade-goers.
