A special Santa Claus event is happening in Garson this weekend for families of children for whom the mall Santa experience might be too stimulating.
The Sensory Santa will be visiting the Sudbury Respite Care Centre (RCC), 190 Church St., Garson, on Sunday, Dec. 17 from 12-3 p.m. It will be free for parents to bring their children to the event.
The Respite Care Centre describes this "as a stress-free" event where youngsters can meet Santa before Christmas and pose for a photo.
RCC is an inclusive play space that caters to all children and their diverse needs. It provides an environment equipped with engaging activities, sensory toys and supports to make it fun for children of all ages and abilities to play and learn together, said the RCC website.
This is a free event and RCC is encouraging friends and supporters to spread the word with other families whose children might enjoy meeting Santa.
RCC also offers short-term respite relief and support to children, youth and young adults with disabilities and autism to provide their caregivers a moment of relief.
