Our theme this year is Winter Wonderland, and we expect it will be an exciting, magical holiday event," says the tireless volunteer, who attributes the parade's success to a hard-working planning committee and a team of about 300 Santa's helpers who will be manning the streets this evening making sure people are safe.
"People love the parade and want to be a part of it in some way," says the Junior Chamber International director. "And if it weren't for our countless volunteers and Manitoba Hydro, which literally lights and shines our parade, this citywide tradition would not be possible.

In order for [Cresida Mason] to maintain this dream, officials with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) must first vote some day to include women's softball in the Olympics again. Women's softball was added to the Olympics in 1996. IOC officials, however, voted back in 2005 to take the sport off their schedule beginning with the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
