The Thunder Bay Police Association Parade of Lights is back celebrating its 25th year of operation.
This year the parade is supporting four charity organizations from Thunder Bay and the surrounding areas.
Donations will be split evenly between the George Jeffrey Children’s Foundation, Thunder Bay Therapeutic Riding Association, Autism Ontario and Special Olympics Ontario Thunder Bay.
Last year $44,138.35, was raised and the goal for this year is to beat that number.
If you donate ahead of the parade online then you can choose which organization you are donating towards.
All vehicles are welcome from the smallest cars to the largest trucks.
The final stretch of the parade along (Fort William Road to Water st), is the sensory-friendly portion of the parade, where trucks will not be honking their horns.
The parade will commence at its normal starting point at Manitoulin Transport (161 Main Street), and proceed along Main St (which becomes Harbour Expressway) to Memorial Avenue, followed by a right turn onto Queen St, followed by a quick right onto Fort William Road and down to Water St.
Registration for joining the parade opened on November 1 and is free of charge, and more registration information will be available on the Parade of Lights Facebook page.
