Santa Takes Calgary Transit

Santa Claus is getting ready to board a Calgary Transit bus, transformed into a “reindeer sleigh” for the Magic of Christmas!

On Christmas Eve, Friday, Dec. 24 beginning at 7:45 a.m., 10 Calgary Transit buses driven by volunteer transit drivers, will pull out of the “Magic of Christmas” registered charity warehouse located at 9827 Horton Road S.W. (old Laser Quest facility).

Each magically-decorated reindeer sleigh bus will carry Santa Claus and his many Elves. Buses will be filled with Christmas gifts generously provided by both private and corporate citizens of Calgary.

All day and all night, volunteers will visit homes, hospitals, nursing homes and shelters to deliver toys, food, clothing, hope, joy, and other necessities to Calgary’s less fortunate in an effort to ensure no one is left out during the holiday season.

The “Magic of Christmas” will visit over 3,000 people on Christmas Eve to spread the joy of the season.
