Terry Woolf continues tradition of Santa’s ‘ground-level training’ before Christmas Eve. Yellowknife’s Terry Woolf first dressed up as “Sled-dog Santa” 15 or so years ago. This year, Santa Claus — er, Woolf — made his trip at about 1 p.m. on Saturday, starting in Yellowknife’s Back Bay and riding through the town’s houseboat community before looping back. Woolf says that the dog-sled ride is a chance for Santa Claus to do some “ground-level training” before his big trip to deliver presents on Christmas Eve. But you won’t hear this Santa saying “Ho Ho Ho” on his sled-dog run.
