Santa Claus made a flying visit to Oakville on Saturday as the town’s annual parade marked the official start of the Christmas season.

Local 793 Business Manager Mike Gallagher and President Dave Turple joined staff members from the Operating Engineers Training Institute of Ontario (OETIO) and the union on the streets, with OETIO’s National boom truck wowing the crowds with its Winter Wonderland-themed decoration.

With thousands of smiling faces all along the route, this year’s parade was one of the best attended in recent memory.

Thank you to all staff members for coming out and letting your Christmas spirit shine!
