“Mayor and Council for the Town of the Pas would like to enlist support from the community to all do our best to help keep everyone safe this Halloween. The community has recently seen an increase in the number of local Covid-19 cases as well as assignment by the Province to the Orange restricted level. The Town is strongly encouraging that all Halloween participants consider alternatives to social activities such as trick or treating this year. The safest and most effective way to help contain the spread of the virus is to continue to practice good social distancing and hygiene measures. Social activities like trick or treating put individuals at a higher risk of exposure. This year please join us in making a responsible choice.
A few alternatives to the standard trick or treating that can still be great fun:
- Families can organize a Halloween themed scavenger hunt - Fun Halloween themed art projects - Pumpkin carving - Pumpkin pie and roasted seeds - Dressing up in fun and spooky costumes at home with family
