The Annual Santa Claus Parade takes over Main Street in Airdrie later today (December 2) which means some closures in the city but AHS' Urgent Care won't be one of them.

The parade starts at 5:00 pm on Main Street.  Urgent Care, at 604 Main Street SE will remain open during the parade.  Parking at AHS is for emergencies only and parade goers won't be allowed to park there.

Main Street will be closed starting at 4:30 pm between Veterans Boulevard N and Ridgegate Way SW until one half hour following the conclusion of the parade.  Two access points to the Urgent Care Centre will be manned by emergency responders who can provide a preliminary patient assessment or an escort to Urgent Care.

The curb lane closest to Urgent Care (the east lane) between Veterans Boulevard and Ridgegate Way will be blocked off to ensure access to Urgent Care.  Residents are asked to ensure this lane is accessible at all times.
