With just 11 days until Christmas Day, Santa and Mrs. Claus flew south from the North Pole to participate in Iqaluit’s annual Santa Claus parade.
Along the parade route Saturday afternoon, residents were bundled up while they waited to greet the big man in red, who was joined in the parade by members of Iqaluit’s fire department and organizations including Canadian North, the Nunavut Employees Union and Ampere (formerly Pinnguaq).
The parade started at the Arctic Winter Games arena and ended in the Nakasuk School parking lot, where Santa descended from his qamutiik and handed out candy canes.

always enjoy seeing the nta float expressing their dominance across the region
Santa and all his elves must have worked so hard on it, and then they gave it to us early!
Lying to children about mythical characters is a sin, why believe and participate in a bizarre narrative? Promoting diabetes 🎅🏽🎄 for two whole months
Brain wash education.

Sins too are mythical, yet here you are speaking of them.
Adults believe in Toronto Maple Leafs. Why can’t kids believe in Santa?
Monkey see.
Monkey do.🤣
