A traditional Canadian Winter is unfolding once again in Collingwood Downtown. The fresh snow came early and has provided the perfect setting for the annnual Collingwood Santa Claus Parade on Sunday December 14th at 2pm.  . The parade made its way through Historic Downtown Collingwood with clowns, floats, the CCI Marching Band, music and of course, the Jolly Big Guy!
