Justin Trudeau vows to save Toronto's Santa Claus parade

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently announced that the federal government will help preserve Toronto's Santa Claus Parade, which has become a 120-year-old tradition. This announcement was issued after the start of the fundraising campaign to continue holding this parade.

Trudeau wrote to his 6.5 million followers in a message on the X social network that the federal government will support the event and that this great tradition will continue for years to come. His comments, released Friday afternoon, came as a relief to those worried about the parade's future.

The Santa Claus Parade, which will take place on November 24, is expected to attract more than 750,000 people to downtown Toronto. But considering that this ceremony may end after 12 decades, its future is uncertain. Organizers of the Nov. 7 parade are asking people who have memories of the parade to take part in a GoFundMe fundraising campaign to keep the tradition alive in 2025 and beyond.

The details of Trudeau's support for the parade are not yet known, but his words gave hope to event staff who were worried about the future of the event.
