Santa almost missed his parade

A hundred thousand people lined the streets for the Santa Claus parade Saturday night…but Santa almost didn’t make it, according to the Times and Transcript.

It was the 50th anniversary of the parade and there were fire works to celevbrate. But there was also an accident which left Santa stuck in traffic. Codiac RCMP quickly sprang into action and got the big guy’s sleigh freed from the congestion and into his traditional place at the end of the Parade.

Money to save historic Town Hall

The federal government has come up with some money to save the historic Town Hall in St. Stephen.

Ottawa will invest $125,000 to help save the historic building which is over a hundred years old. The funding will go towards restoring air quality and getting rid of mould. The town of St. Stephen has approved $100,000 for the project and work may begin as early as today.
