In a chat with Santa Claus, chief medical officer Dr. Theresa Tam officially declared him an essential worker.

B次元官网网址淚 am so glad to hear that, Theresa,B次元官网网址 Santa said. He assured kids in Canada that Christmas would go off without a hitch this year, no matter what else was going on around the world.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 feeling great. Mrs. Claus and I have been self-isolating. In fact, weB次元官网网址檝e been doing it for years B次元官网网址 many, many, many years. Ho ho ho!B次元官网网址

In a statement, Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said that SantaB次元官网网址檚 paperwork was in order for the big day.

B次元官网网址淪anta will be accompanied, as always, by Rudolph and his reindeer friends. Santa will be wearing a mask and will have his documents ready upon arrival at the border. HeB次元官网网址檒l be wearing his mask at all times B次元官网网址 except, of course, when he stops for a short break to enjoy the milk and cookies that have been left for him! Santa will also remember to wash or sanitize his hands afterwards, and to be extra careful not to wake anyone.B次元官网网址
