This year’s Winnipeg Santa Claus Parade will have multiple special guests to grand marshal the big man in red.

Two Winnipeg shopping centres have stepped up to make a dent in the fundraising efforts of the Winnipeg Santa Claus Parade to replace a float that doubled as a platform for Santa’s sleigh.
Kildonan Place and Grant Park Shopping Centre have donated a combined $6,250 to the GoFundMe campaign towards a $100,000 goal — meaning Santa will have a new ride this year.
The Winnipeg Santa Parade is hoping for a Christmas miracle to replace its original Santa sleigh.

Forecasters weren’t lying when they said Winnipeg will experience its coldest Christmas since 1996.

NEEPAWA, Man. — Christmas is upon us, which means that so too is the season of sweets and baking. Last week’s Neepawa Banner & Press had a collection of seasonal recipes and no matter your taste — sweet or savoury, simple or extravagant— there’s a recipe out there.
