Sensitive Santa is coming to Kelowna for the 3rd year in a row this weekend.
Autism Okanagan in partnership with Tracey and Quincy Vrecko are excited to bring Sensitive Santa back to the Okanagan for special Santa visits.
Sensitive Santa is a special program for families with children living on the autism spectrum. These Santa visits are set in a sensory friendly environment with low lights, no music and no crowds. Visits are by appointment only so families have a full five minutes with the big man himself.
The event is being held in Kelowna at Orchard Park Mall on Dec. 3 and 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. and at “Santa’s Studio” at 1379 Ellis Street on Dec. 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
