Winnipeg, MB - The Santa Bus is driving the holiday spirit starting Tuesday, December 1 until Thursday, December 24. All cash fares and donations collected on the Santa Bus go directly to the Christmas Cheer board.

Bus #147 features larger-than-life vinyl graphics of Santa and all of his reindeer. “The Santa Bus raised $13,000 in 2014 and we’re ho-ho-hoping to collect even more this year,” said Mr. Claus.

Look for the Santa Bus on these routes:

11 Kildonan - Portage (December 1 to 5)
16 Osborne - Selkirk (December 6 to 12)
19 Marion-Logan, Notre Dame (December 13 to 19)
