The jolly fellow in the bright red suit will be the guest of honour this Satur- day afternoon when the Chamber of Commerce Santa Claus Parade leaves the High School grounds, makes its way down Queen Street to wind up at the Latcham Centre.

The charges by the Region are an effort to extend the life of the Scugog land-fill site by a couple more years and to discourage private contractors from hauling trash from Whitby or Oshawa. Some contractors had been able to haul from Oshawa and Whitby and not pay for dumping at the Scugog site.
