The Coca-Cola Holiday Caravan is making a stop in Thornbury and Santa Claus will be there too, posing for photos with those he meets.
Coca-Cola is kicking off the holiday season on World Kindness Day with the return of the Coca-Cola Holiday Caravan and the launch of Canada’s Kindest Community Contest.
The caravan stops at Thornbury Foodland on Nov. 18 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. for the Foodland Thornbury Christmas Spectacular. Santa will be there and people are welcome to take photos with Santa and the Coca-Cola truck.
"Adorned with twinkling lights, the iconic Red Coca-Cola truck, accompanied by Santa and a few special elves, will bring Canadians together to offer kindness-led experiences coast-to-coast and make sure we all feel like we belong this holiday season," states a news release. "New this year, the tour coincides with the launch of Canada’s Kindest Community Contest – a program asking Canadians to share stories of kindness from their community for a chance to win a $50,000 donation for a non-profit organization near them.."
Launching in partnership with Community Foundations of Canada, Canadians can nominate acts of kindness in their community - whether their own or those of others - that have made life in their community better. Nominations are now open and can be submitted online via the Coca-Cola Holiday Hub,
or through QR codes found at local Holiday Caravan stops and select retailers until January 6, 2025.
The community with the most submissions per capita will be recognized as Canada’s Kindest Community, receive a $50,000 donation to a local non-profit – supported by Community Foundations of Canada – and receive a 2025 Holiday Caravan experience.
The Coca-Cola Holiday Caravan begins its tour in Halifax on November 14 before embarking on a cross-Canada journey ending in Vancouver on December 22.
