Parade team commended

Mayor Ted Luciani expressed his deepest gratitude towards members of Thorold’s Santa Claus parade committee who “came in at the 11th hour” and pulled off a Christmas miracle last fall. When the previous committee dissolved last year, Lauren Krause and Myra Robertson worked tirelessly to keep the tradition going. Luciani awarded each of the members with a certificate Tuesday. Krause thanked everyone who donated their time and money and said she is looking forward to Nov. 25, the date of the 26th annual Thorold Santa Claus parade. In the meantime, Luciani noted, there are a number of vacancies on committees serving the community. If interested, citizens are encouraged to go on the town’s website, thorold.com, under the tab “What is happening in your community.”
