The Minister of Transportation has cleared the way for Santa to travel in Canadian airspace.
On a virtual call this week, Santa notified Minister Omar Alghabra that he completed his pre-flight checklist – and even checked it twice.
Making sure he didn’t wait ’til the night before Christmas to prepare for his journey, Santa had his proof of vaccination ready and made sure that his COVID-19 test was negative before take off.
Although his nose was red and bright, Rudolph made sure he had no COVID-19 symptoms before taking off.
Earlier this month, Transport Canada inspected Santa’s sleigh and its safety systems.
The inspectors checked the landing gear and the reindeer harnesses, as well as the communications and navigation systems.
Not to be overlooked, Santa’s gift bag full of presents was also checked to ensure it is secure and ready to deliver presents to Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast.
Transport Minister Omar Alghabra says Santa, met all the pre-entry requirements to re-enter Canada and that he was committed to ensuring his safety, the safety of Canadians, and our transportation workers.
