Despite the winter storm, the Minister of Transport has cleared Santa and his reindeer for take-off in Canadian airspace.
In a secure message to Minister Omar Alghabra earlier this week, Santa confirmed that he completed his final test flight of the year and checked that he and the reindeer showed no signs of COVID-19 symptoms before take-off.
Earlier this month, Transport Canada Safety Inspectors checked communications, and navigations systems, and made sure to test the landing gear. The reindeer even let safety inspectors check their harnesses to ensure they were secure for the journey ahead.
You can track Santa and his reindeer on the NORAD Tracks Santa website.
