Local residents will be able to celebrate the holidays in a safe, virtual way with a host of activities lined up over the next few weeks.

It’s all thanks to the Santa Claus Parade Committee and the Families First Committee.

There’s a virtual Christmas colouring contest, show us your tree contest, Santa will be taking calls from children along with stories being read and past Christmas parades on YourTV North Bay.

A virtual fireworks display is also planned for New Years Eve.
