But he needs your help, too.
Locals are being invited to meet Santa, Mrs Claus, and the superhero helpers when they visit Toronto Diggers on Saturday, November 24, at 2pm.
Locals are encouraged to donate new toys that will be added to the collection donated by the club’s staff and patrons.
On Saturday, all of the toys (which should not be gift wrapped) will be added to Santa’s sleigh for distribution among some of the district’s neediest kids.
The visit on Saturday is a forerunner to the annual Bikers for Kids Toy Run, in Newcastle, on Sunday, December 2.
One of the co-ordinators of the event at Toronto Diggers, Linda Coleman, said Santa’s inaugural visit to the club last year was a hit.
Even more locals are expected to get involved next Saturday. And this year, Santa will bring along a lot more helpers, she said.
“We’ll have Elsa and Olaf (from the movie Frozen) there, as well as Superman, Batman, Ironman, Deadpool and even Mickey and Minnie Mouse,” Ms Coleman said.
“So bring your kids along for what will be a fun day at the front of the club on The Boulevarde.
“Any donations can be brought along on the day, or the Toronto Diggers have a box inside the club where you can drop off your toys before the day.”
