GLACE BAY, N.S. — Pandemic associated uncertainties have led to the cancellation of this year's Glace Bay Santa Claus parade.
Dave MacKeigan, president of Bay it Forward, said an increase in cases of COVID-19 on the mainland, meant there was no way of knowing if cases could be identified in Cape Breton by the time the parade was to be held.
“We thought we better cancel now rather than have people put a lot of work into making floats that may not be able to be used,” he said.
Earlier plans were to have a drive-thru reverse parade where floats would be parked and set up in a way where the public would be able to drive by to view them.
