The annual Breakfast with Santa in Ladner is nearing the 50-year mark.
It’s a milestone that certainly makes the Ladner Business Association proud.
This year’s event takes place on Saturday, Dec. 2 from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Ladner Community Centre.
“To have a milestone such as that is really cool,” said LBA acting president Jill McKnight. “As best we can tell this event goes back to the days of the businessman’s association, long before the LBA was started. We are now seeing three generations coming to breakfast because I see people I went to school coming with their parents and their kids. I think that is really special that this event is built into people’s yearly traditions.”
Pancakes are $5, pancakes with ham are $7, and both include coffee, tea or juice.
Santa will be there for photos and a photographer will be on hand. There will be a colouring station, face painting and lots of Christmas music to get everyone into the holiday spirit.
Santa will be on hand starting at 8:15 a.m. to allow for as much time as possible for photos.
“It will be much the same experience that it has always been, so for people that maybe came 20 years ago we hope it’s the same memories we are creating today,” added McKnight.
