Rotary presents this year’s Santa Clause Parade
The Brampton Santa Claus Parade Committee, in partnership with the City of Brampton, is pleased to announce that the Rotary Club of Brampton is the new Presenting Sponsor of Brampton’s Santa Claus Parade in 2018.
The Rotary Club of Brampton has been a regular sponsor and participant in the parade since the Brampton Board of Trade revived the annual event in 1986 and as a participant has produced some of the best entries over the years.
“Our members were looking for a way to ensure that the parade committee had the resources to annually bring bigger and better elements to the parade for the delight of children of all ages, “ says Club President Glenn Williams.“ We believe that by becoming the Presenting Sponsor we can achieve this.”
The agreement is for five years with the option to be extended.
The Brampton Board of Trade has been the Presenting Sponsor since 1986 and was the catalyst for reviving the event. “We would like to thank the Board of Trade for its many years of support. They have been a tremendous resource as the parade has grown over the last 30 plus years,” says Richard Beagle, President of the Brampton Santa Claus Parade Committee.
The Parade Operations Committee, led by Chair Barb Schembri and comprised of 100% volunteers, has worked hard to bring the most dynamic event possible to the main street of Brampton.
“We acknowledge the support of 407ETR as our platinum sponsor and the Downtown Brampton BIA, Tim Hortons and Mattamy Homes as Gold Sponsors. And without the countless volunteers and other sponsors the parade would not be the success that it is,“ says Beagle.
The Brampton Santa Claus Parade is held annually on the third Saturday in November, starting at 5pm sharp. The parade draws an average of 100,000 spectators making it the largest, single- day event in the Region of Peel.
