Canadian Tire stages Inglewood Santa spectacle

First there were five, then eleven and by last night, when Canadian Tire Corporation got finished donating a bunch, there were as many as 29 giant air-filled and electrically lighted Santa Claus figures on the lawns of Inglewood Drive in Moore Park. Best estimate of the number and location of the proliferating polyethylene symbols of the season comes from a walk along the ever-pleasant street from Hudson Drive on the east down to Mount Pleasant. Yep, it looks like 29. It started with a bit of yule-tide lightheartedness down at the west end of the street and somehow just took off from there. Here was see Twitter-sent pictures of the residents enjoying the treats like Beaver Tail sweets handed out by CTC as they installed the freebie Santas. The Santa parade got its first mention in the South Bayview Bulldog a week ago today. It was picked up soon after by CTV. Last night, many media recorded the scene. What a promotion.   Previous post
