October 15, 2020

Halloween, like all things affected by COVID-19, will look different in Strathcona County this year.
Halloween, like all things affected by COVID-19, will look different in Strathcona County this year.
Residents are encouraged to keep up their important work in following all COVID-19 gathering guidelines and protocols to stop the spread of COVID-19 in our community. Residents are asked to limit outdoor gathering sizes and stay within their own community, where possible.
Strathcona County has fun, free family options available to enjoy at home. Visit strathcona.ca/halloween for ideas and more information. As a reminder, everyone has a different level of risk acceptance. Whether a family chooses to trick or treat, or not, please remember to be kind to one another.
As part of efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19, Strathcona County will not be hosting in-person Halloween events (including haunted skate and haunted house in Gallery@501) at its facilities this year.
Changes this year also include the suspension of the popular active Halloween passes and the positive ticket campaign that have traditionally occurred on Halloween. The drop-in Halloween passes have been suspended due to COVID-19 restrictions requiring pre-booking at County recreation facilities, AHS direction to reduce gatherings, and capacity restrictions in County facilities.
As always, County buses remain a safe place to board if things get too scary this Halloween. For information on Transit services, please visit strathcona.ca/transit.
