The COVID-19 pandemic continues to carve into community traditions.

JCI Kootenay this morning announced the cancellation of the annual Santa Claus Parade in downtown Cranbrook.

“It is with great disappointment that JCI Kootenay announces the cancellation of the 2021 Santa Claus Parade. Sadly COVID-19 regulations continue to keep this beloved event from happening and we see no way to safely have the community gather for this event,” JCI stated on social media.

“We thank all of our past sponsors and participants for their continued interest in this event and we look forward to joining you all again in 2022 for another magical parade.”

The parade was also cancelled in 2020.
