It’s that time of year when kids everywhere are making their lists and checking them twice. For many children in Ottawa, however, it’s a little different – this year, more than ever. Their hoped-for toy may not be under the tree waiting Christmas morning unless we have your help.

The Help Santa Toy Parade is back on track for 2024 for our 55th year! The parade will be occurring on November 16, 2024 at 11:00am.

We are so excited to have everyone lining the streets to cheer on Santa as he delivers joy to children everywhere.

Give generously to the “Help Santa Campaign” where your donations will go directly to support the important work of CTV and MOVE 100’s Toy Mountain in support of Ottawa's Toy Mountain. Toy Mountain gives toys to local families that might otherwise not be able to have gifts at Christmas.

The route will start at Elgin and Laurier where it will head west to Bank Street. At Bank Street it will turn south heading towards Lansdowne Park. It will end here.
