Halloween in Stellarton to Proceed Despite COVID-19 Restrictions

Will there be trick or treating this Halloween? At last night’s meeting of Stellarton town council, the question was raised whether COVID-19 would scuttle the activity. Town Clerk Susan Higdon told council that under current health regulations, trick or treating is allowed – as long as rules on physical distancing and the wearing of masks are followed. Therefore, kids will be allowed to go door to door in Stellarton on Halloween. Councillors stressed the decision whether or not to hand out candy is, as always, up to individual households.
