This year’s theme is A World of Celebration! It's an ode to holiday celebrations from around the world and ties into TRU World’s 40th anniversary of international education.
Thompson Rivers University is thrilled to once again be the title sponsor for the event.
"Our vibrant community of international students, esteemed alumni, and dedicated staff and faculty have left a lasting mark on Kamloops and its global connections,” said Baihua Chadwick, TRU Vice-President International. "As we come together for the 43rd annual Santa Parade, let us embrace the spirit of A World of Celebration and show the richness of cultures that make our city shine.”
