Good news for trick or treaters in North Battleford: Halloween is still on.
The City of North Battleford has issued a statement saying it “will not be legislating restrictions on Halloween. The City will follow all public health advice and restrictions set by the Government of Saskatchewan.”
The city states that since COVID-19 entered Saskatchewan, they have been “committed to following the expert public health measures and advice from the Provincial Government.”
More information can be found at the province’s website www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19 , where the province has released some new guidance as to how Halloween should be conducted this Oct. 31 including social-distancing measures and the use of hand sanitizers when going out trick or treating. One of the recommendations is that the treats collected should not be touched for 72 hours after they are received.
The fall activity guidelines can be found on page 146 of the Re-Open Saskatchewan document.
