The ceremony celebrates the annual kick-off of the Kelowna Regional Transit Santa Sleigh Bus, which travels throughout Kelowna, Peachland, Westbank and Lake Country collecting toys, food donations and money for the Salvation Army' s Christmas Fund.

In the past five years, the Santa Sleigh Bus has raised over $72-thousand dollars.
