They expressed their heartfelt thanks to the organizing committee as well as the 100 or so volunteers who help on Parade Day entertain- ing spectators and ensuring the event runs smoothly. Duddeck and Soeterik also extend their gratitude, on behalf of the Parade committee, for the continued support of local businesses. "Corporate sponsors are an integral part of the Oakville Santa Claus Parade, as we use these funds to hire marching bands, rent costumes, maintain Santa's float, publicize the event and recognize winning entries," said Duddeck. Lexus of Oakville has been a long-standing supporter of the Parade. "We are proud to return as a Gold sponsor for the Oakville Santa Claus Parade," said Frank Apa, President and Dealer Principal at Lexus of Oakville.
