The big guy’s annual Christmas Eve tour of the City of Cranbrook is ready to roll thanks to the support of Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services.

Santa Claus’ Christmas Eve tour, confirmed today by the North Pole PR team, is a long-standing community tradition, and a very popular one at that.

“The Cranbrook Firefighters are so happy to continue this tradition, as there are generations of families that make a point to come out and get a quick glimpse of Santa on Christmas Eve,” said Scott Driver, Director of Fire & Emergency Services. “We are grateful that Santa’s tour on Christmas Eve continues to be part of so many cherished family memories.”

The tour through the community will start Tuesday, December 24 at 4 p.m., escorted by off-duty members of Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services. Every effort will be made to have Santa visit as many areas of the community as possible on Christmas Eve.

The overall schedule provided is an estimate.

4-5 p.m. – Steeples School and Park Royal area.

5-6 p.m. – Fire Hall and Highlands School area.

6-7 p.m. – Kinsmen Park and Kootenay Orchards School area.
