Winnipeg will start closing several downtown streets at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, for the Santa Claus Parade. The city says the closures will remain in place until 10 p.m.
Both directions of Portage Avenue will close between Main Street and St. Mary Avenue, and both directions of Memorial Boulevard will close between Broadway and Portage. Southbound Main Street will close from William Avenue to York Avenue. Parts of Edmonton Street, Vaughan Street and Portage Avenue East will also close.
Broadway and northbound Main Street will stay open, although the city expects heavy traffic. Transit will be rerouted. The city advises allowing extra time and using alternate routes.
