The holiday season kicks off this Sunday in York Region with the first of five Santa Claus parades to take place during the month of November.<\/p>\n
To help the big guy in the red and white suit greet all of the thousands of people who will line the various parade routes to see him, vivaNext helpers have been invited to join him. They\u2019ll be walking in front of our beautiful blue Viva vehicle specially decorated for the parades and impossible to miss.<\/p>\n
Each helper will be wearing a 4-sided cube costume measuring 24\u201d wide by 30\u201d high that showcases the vivaNext changes coming to York Region. As they walk along and wave to the crowds, their cubes will rotate in formation to reveal four unique and colourful streetscapes in Newmarket, Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham \u2013 each one representing the urban transformation that vivaNext rapid transit projects will help to create.<\/p>\n
We\u00a0 hope they will be as much fun for you to watch, as they will be for our parade marshal to coordinate. We look forward to seeing you en route!<\/p>\n
