Trick-or-Treating
- If you are feeling unwell, please stay home.
- Trick-or-Treat with only your family members or a few close friends you already spend time with.
- Be sure to:
- Wear a mask; incorporate it into your costume if possible;
- Ensure physical distancing (two metres); and
- Wash your hands before and after Trick-or-Treating.
- When approaching a house, have patience and wait for the group ahead of you to leave before approaching. Do not crowd the doorstep and stand two metres away. Knock on the door (avoid using the doorbell) or play a pre-recorded ‘Trick-or-Treat’ audio on your phone.
- After Trick-or-Treating, and prior to eating any treats, be sure to wash your hands.
Handing Out Candy
- If feeling unwell, please do not hand out candy.
- Only one person per household who is vaccinated should hand out treats for Trick-or-Treaters.
- When handing out candy:
- Wear a mask;
- Wash your hands frequently;
- Use tongs to hand out candy or hand out individual candy bags; and
- Only offer store-bought, individually wrapped candy.
- If weather permits, sit outside and place individual candy or candy bags on a table for children to take.
- Frequently sanitize high-touch areas including the doorbell, doorknob, and handrails for general hygiene and to protect against any viruses.
