For over 25 years, Manitoba Hydro has been involved with the Winnipeg Santa Claus Parade. That’s almost three decades of invaluable support for the community, and the event that serves as the unofficial kick-off to the holidays. “The Manitoba Hydro Santa Claus Parade allows us to demonstrate our ongoing dedication to community involvement,” says Alexis LaForest, supervisor of community investment at Manitoba Hydro. “We believe in the power of coming together to celebrate and support one another, and this event is a shining example the true spirit of Energy for Life.” In addition to being the title sponsor for the Manitoba Hydro Santa Claus Parade, the company is once again hosting its pre-parade Block Party. Head inside the main floor gallery Kris Kringle rides again in the Manitoba Hydro Santa Claus Parade
at Manitoba Hydro Place at 360 Portage Avenue on November 16 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for a series of events, including live music, baton twirling, and free hot chocolate and cookies. The Christmas Cheer Board will collect new, unwrapped toys, pantry goods and financial donations on-site. Outside the gallery right on Portage Avenue, the touch-a-truck experience returns with your opportunity to take photos with a Manitoba Hydro bucket truck. Come early, grab a great spot for the upcoming parade and enjoy games and activities both inside and out. Watch for the Manitoba Hydro floats in the parade, including the horse-drawn Cinderella Pumpkin Carriage and the Candy Carousel, accompanied by Manitoba Hydro staff and their families! “Our commitment to the community goes beyond providing energy; it’s about fostering connections and creating memorable experiences,” said Alexis. “Manitoba Hydro employees are part of the communities we serve. The Manitoba Hydro Santa Claus Parade is a perfect opportunity for us to give back and share in the holiday spirit with the families and
friends who make our province such a wonderful place to live.” The following week post-parade, you’re invited to the Manitoba Electrical Museum’s Watt a Season. The exhibit, programming and activities run Tuesday-Saturday from November 19-January 11. Visit electricalmuseum.ca to plan your visit this holiday season! Thank you to
