Santa's Parade of Lights takes festive path down Jasper Ave

Construction in the city centre didn’t keep crowds away from Santa’s Parade of Lights on Saturday.
Rather than winding downtown, the parade took a straight route down Jasper Avenue. The tens of thousands lining the route mostly were excited for the man himself, Santa, to come down the street in a one-horse open sleigh.
Holding her light scepter in one hand and an envelope with green lettering addressed to Santa North Pole, six-year-old Aubrey Turner was excitedly waited to see Santa.
