Port Hope Santa Claus Parade 2024

We are celebrating our 60th anniversary of the ACO Port Hope branch by participating in the Santa Claus parade this year. The theme of the parade is “Miracle on Walton Street”. We have partnered with the Canadian Fire Fighters Museum who are providing us with a beautifully restored vintage fire truck (1941) for our entry into the parade, driven by one of their co-chairs, Will Lambert. What a great way to celebrate our 60th anniversary!!

The date is Saturday November 30, 2024 – starting at 1 pm. Click here for the parade route.

Our student volunteers from the Globe Cambridge High School will be walking the parade route, greeting viewers and passing out candy canes and pages from our ACO Heritage Colouring Book as gifts. 

We partnered with a team of students from Trinity College School who created 1000 colouring book scrolls to distribute to the audience.
