Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services (CFES) personnel must be really good.

Or perhaps it’s the winter wonderland that is the Rockies and Purcells that brings him back time after time.

Whatever the charm; all rejoice. Santa Claus is returning to Cranbrook for his annual Christmas Eve tour around town with CFES members.

The long-standing local tradition has been officially confirmed according to sources at both the North Pole and with Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services.

Firefighters with CFES will escort Santa though the community on Monday, December 24 starting at 4 p.m.

The overall schedule times provided below is an educated estimate. Every effort will be made to have Santa travel through as many areas of Cranbrook as possible on Christmas Eve.

4-5 p.m. – Steeples School and Park Royal area

5-6 p.m. – Fire Hall and Highlands School area

6-7 p.m. – Kinsmen Park and Kootenay Orchards School area

7-8 p.m. – 11th Ave – 14th Ave, Gordon Terrace, Parkland School and T. M. Roberts School area

8-9 p.m. – Gyro and Rotary Park areas
