Ghosts and Goblins in Toronto
The COVID epidemic has brought lots of uncertainty to this year's Halloween celebrations. Rather than have a uniform guideline for the Province of Ontario, the government has left it up to municipalities to each issue their own guidelines based on the local situation. As a result, there is a good deal of uncertainty regarding celebrations.
It remains to be seen how many families will be trick or treating this year in Toronto. I don't think it is safe and we will not be participating, but decorations are beginning to appear two weeks before the 31st and they are fun to see. Decorations are a safe way to celebrate and I'm glad some families are keeping that tradition going. It's a shame that children have been deprived of so many experiences this year, but a global pandemic is a really big deal and the safety of the public must come first.
Update: The Province has now listed Toronto as a zone of high transmission and recommends that families not trick or treat this year but find alternative, safe ways to celebrate.
