The bus will be going around to schools in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Lake Country until Saturday collecting toys, food donations and money for the Salvation army.
Volunteers say there’s nothing more satisfying then seeing a child’s eyes light up when they get on the bus.
“It’s usually the wow factor. The kids they see the bus all lit up, and when they get inside they’re like ‘Cool, this is awesome, can we have this all the time?'” said Bernard the Elf, one of Santa’s helpers.
Santa Sleigh bus has raised $200,000 for the Salvation Army over the past 11 years.
