TORONTO - Santa Claus is putting the finishing touches on his sleigh for several parades in Ontario cities Sunday afternoon.

It's the second day of a weekend packed with parades in St. Nick's honour.

Santa and his reindeer will greet thousands of kids at Toronto's 106th annual parade.

It winds through the city's downtown starting at 12:45.

It's the longest-running Santa Claus parade in Canada.

St. Nick and his reindeer will then head to Guelph and North Bay for their parades.

He'll take a short rest before travelling to Peterborough and Windsor in early December.
