On the charity beat, four local organizations are reaping the benefits from the annual Parade of Lights.
The Therapeutic Riding Association, the George Jeffery Children’s Centre and the Thunder Bay branches of Autism Ontario and Special Olympics Ontario are splitting the nearly 20 thousand dollars raised in last years parade.
Spokesperson Greg Stephenson says it’s a popular event with people lining the street earlier in the day to ensure a great view of the parade.
The parade is set for December 5th at 7 pm.
