For many, the thought of anything winter related in July can be disheartening, but for some, preparation for the winter’s biggest holiday is crucial.

And for those willing to help Collingwood, there’s a prize up for grabs.

The town of Collingwood says Santa Claus has confirmed his attendance for the 2026 Santa Claus parade, but the town is seeking help with setting a theme for this year’s event.

In a statement, the town says float decorators are at the ready to get to work, but they need time to work on their designs.

Residents are encouraged to send their suggestions to [e-mail] or mail or drop them off at the Collingwood Downtown office at 105 Hurontario Street.

The winning suggestion will be awarded a $200 Collingwood Downtown gift card.

The deadline for theme submissions is July 31 and the town will hold its annual parade on Sat. Nov. 21, at 5 p.m.
