SOUTH SIMCOE POLICE INVESTIGATING DRIVING COMPLAINT DURING INNISFIL SANTA CLAUS PARADE – POLICE ASKING FOR WITNESSES
(INNISFIL, ON) – South Simcoe Police are seeking witnesses following a driving complaint that occurred during the Innisfil Santa Claus Parade on Sunday, November 23, 2025, between 2:20 p.m. and 2:35 p.m.
The incident started at the Sobey’s parking lot where a grey Audi SUV was denied access to the parade route. The vehicle was afterwards observed driving in the Shoppers Drug Mart / Scotiabank Plaza on Innisfil Beach Road. When the driver was unable to exit the lot due to the parade route, the vehicle jumped a curb and drove through a pedestrian catwalk / trail south of the plaza to leave the area, exiting onto Jans Boulevard. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
