From ABCA Facebook post:
I would like to take a moment and thank all the efforts of the amazing volunteers that helped with the Parade of Lights. This great event could not have happened without their support! From the floats / walkers, hot chocolate stations, marshals, to general volunteers – no word can express my gratitude for coming together to make this happen.
Thank you to all the spectators that braved the true Canadian winter experience to come out and showed the parade their efforts were appreciated. I will admit that after 6 hours of being in the cold, that I had reached my limit for the night.
Youth Central for sending out volunteers to walk the parade route Sunday morning, in which we collected a large bag of garbage.
Junk Works / King – gets another shout out for not only being in the parade, helped collect toy donations for the Calgary Boys and Girls Club, but also collected all the garbage bins, waste, propane heaters after the event.
We are truly an amazing community.

Road closures & parking bans
Just a friendly reminder that there will be road closures and parking bans in effect throughout Auburn Bay on Saturday, Nov. 30 for our Parade of Lights. Police and volunteers will be present at key intersections to assist with routing traffic. There will also be parade marshals along the route to ensure everyone’s safety (please be respectful of their instructions).
Traffic on the BLVD’s will remain open for travel in the opposite direction of the parade. Thanks in advance for your patience.
Please dress for the weather
We’ve all heard the saying—there’s no bad weather, only poor clothing. Please keep this in mind so everyone can stay safe, warm and enjoy the parade by dressing appropriately for Calgary weather. Check the forecast closer to the date.
Lost Person Station
Please plan ahead. Lost person stations are located at each of the 6 hot chocolate stations along the parade route. Should someone become separated, they will be taken to the nearest hot chocolate station (please see map for locations).Please discuss this with your family ahead of the event so children are aware of where to go in the event they become separated.
