The Santa Clause Parade and outdoor market are treasured events of joy and community bonding. However, they should not come at the expense of our homeless population. Each year, temporary event arrangements often result in the displacement of homeless people. Furthermore, displacing them only intensifies the issue. As members of the same community, we need to ensure that our everyday life and celebrations do not adversely impact the most vulnerable among us. The Santa Clause parade and outdoor market must either locate alternatives that do not impede homeless populations, or address the problem head-on via provisions for suitable, short-term shelters during the duration of the events. Let us celebrate the holiday season without forgetting our compassion and humanity. Please sign this petition to halt the Santa Clause parade and the outdoor market if they displace homeless people.
