Close to 200 children had deposited a letter for Santa Claus two weeks prior to Christmas. Chantale Robitaille, the Town’s director of culture, explains that the initiative was organized in the same spirit that prevailed for the recycled bicycles that decorate the municipality in the summer, a project for which Paspebiac won a Quebec-wide award among the Villages-relais of the province. Cont'd on page 29 Siblings Jace (9) and Kayliey Whalen (6) of Port Daniel, were eager to sit on the ski-doos at Santa’s village.
