By Silvana Sabzevari Alberta's chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw says children and youth can still go trick or treating this year, because unlike other holidays Halloween is outdoors and there is less of a chance of spreading COVID unlike Thanksgiving where families sit together indoors and enjoy a meal together. “I know Halloween is a favourite day for many. And I know many parents are already planning costumes and activities. I have no plans to suggest that Albertans cancel Halloween this year. My own children would never forgive me,” she said. That is why we have created a page with tips and advice on how you and your family can enjoy a Halloween that is still fun and scary – but for the right reasons," says Hinshaw. However, she has some tips to enjoy Halloween safely.
Large gatherings are prohibited and medium gatherings are not recommended. Keep parties small and safe, health officers advise. Personally, Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year - Silvana
