Six Markham MedVents joins 1st Downsview MedVents at the 2015 Toronto Santa Class Parade.
The members enjoyed themselves tremendously. They had to get up early on Sunday to get to the rallying point by Christie Pits in Toronto. Before the parade started we had learned how to march and carry the flags properly for the parade. After a long walk, we all got to enjoy some pizza!!!
