To the editor:

It's time for an evening Christmas parade!

Sudbury has been having their Christmas parades at night for over 20 years.

When I lived there, we all attended with my one-year-old grandson and every year after.

Even as an adult, it was exciting with all of the lights on the floats and the kids were in awe at the beauty of the floats. Daytime parades do not provide the same thrill because the lights aren't visible.

I wonder why North Bay doesn't follow suit.

With grown grandsons now, I would still go if it was held once it's dark and the lights are bright!
