I know many of us have been awaiting public health guidance for Halloween. Today, Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health issued a statement that advised trad...itional door-to-door trick or treating is not recommended in Toronto and we should consider alternative ways to celebrate. https://news.ontario.ca//stay-safe-and-follow-public-healt The City is asking residents to be scary at home and find alternative ways to celebrate besides trick-or-treating, such as carving pumpkins, organizing a movie night and decorating front lawns. Please celebrate only with the people you live with and stay safe!
