Where IS Santa? Well, as you can see, he was in Pender Harbour on Nov. 30, besieged by children. He was there to kick off the Christmas season, an event that included the Pender Harbour Community Choir, the Harbour Ukulele Group (HUGs) and lighting of the community tree. But you will see lots of Santa in the coming days, including Gibsons and Roberts Creek Dec. 9 (see events, page 12). On the same day, you will see Santa’s hat on runners in Sechelt (page 5). And the spirit of Santa Claus will be all over the Coast this Saturday, Dec. 8, in the form of first responders looking to fill boots with cash for the Elves Club. The first responders will be in shopping centres, on the street at intersections and elsewhere, and they will be doing Santa’s work – making sure everyone is included in the holiday traditions.
