Santa's office has confirmed that replies to all submitted letters will be delivered directly to Pictou on Monday, December 16th. Families can pick up Santa's responses from the Town Administration Office during regular business hours, Monday, December 16th to Friday, December 20th, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
CAO, Kyle Slaunwhite stated “The Town of Pictou is honoured to work with Santa and his team to bring joy to our youngest residents.” Mayor Ryan added, “We are deeply grateful to North Pole HQ for their unwavering commitment to the children of Pictou.”
