Canadian kids anxiously awaiting a visit with Santa Claus at their local mall will have to settle for a very different experience this year. One of Canada's largest mall operators is cancelling in-person Santa visits amid increasing COVID-19 cases in provinces including Ontario. (Rafferty Baker/CBC)Cadillac Fairview had been offering in-person Santa visit reservations as recently as Thursday. Other mall operators told CBC News in statements they are still weighing their options when it comes to Santa visits. Morguard, which owns Coquitlam Centre and Sevenoaks Shopping Centre in Abbotsford, B.C., said it would have an update "in coming days."
