RIP Saskatoon Santa. You were very loved and we miss you every day. ♥️

Our favourite jolly old elf has hung up his coat and hat one last time. After a short hospital stay, Clarence Hauschild, passed away yesterday at the age of 77 years old.

It all started with being jolly in the 1980s, and being asked to help out and put on a red suit in December. The beard came in the 1990s and he later “went pro”.

Being Santa was his destiny. Always a big kid at heart, he loved making people smile. For many years, he was at Lawson Heights Mall. He chose Lawson specifically because they did not charge for visits, and did not insist he rush each child through, but instead, allowed him to take his time to get to know the kids. Later he chose more one-time engagements, and we set up Saskatoonsanta.com. Much of his work continued to be on a volunteer basis.

To remind his family of the everlasting impact of his jolly soul, please feel free to tag Saskatoon Santa with your favorite Saskatoon Santa photo ♥️🎅🏻

A casual, come-and-go celebration of his life will be held this Sunday, January 8th, from 1-3pm at Nutana Legion Hall at 3021 Louise Street.

It is with regret that Santa’s Sleigh has been grounded for the 2022 season and visits will be cancelled.

Santa sends Christmas cheer from hospital and hopes to be his jolly self in time for next season.

Santa had the pleasure to join the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra last night!

The gift of music, like an instrument or SSO tickets, is on the top of many lists this year! 🎻🎷🎹🎺
