A special thank you to Alasdair's company Jumping Elephants for their matching gift of $500 and to Jane's company Jane Thompson Architect for their matching gift of $500.

Let’s Have a Spooktacular Halloween! There’s no denying it’s fall. The soft blanket of leaves underfoot, the smell of pumpkin spice in the air and then there are the scarecrows and ghosts popping up on people’s doorsteps, reminding us that Halloween is hiding just around the corner. This year the question on everyone’s mind is: how to celebrate in the midst of a global pandemic?! To trick or treat or not to trick or treat? Ottawa Public Health has released its Halloween gu...idelines and they are recommending against trick or treating outdoors this year. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a spooktacular Halloween! We at the WVCA have put our thinking caps on and come up with a few alternative ways to enjoy Halloween at Wateridge Village this year. http://wateridgeassociation.ca/lets-have-a-spooktacular-ha/

Célébrons Halloween! On ne peut le nier - c’est l’automne. Le son des feuilles mortes qui craquent sous les pieds, l’odeur de tarte à la citrouille dans l’air et puis on voit des épouvantails et fantômes accrochés aux portes, nous rappelant qu’Halloween n’est pas bien loin. Cette année, la question que tout le monde se pose est: comment célébrer en pleine pandémie?!... Passer ou ne pas passer l’Halloween? Santé publique Ottawa a publié ses lignes directrices pour l'Halloween et recommande de ne pas passer de porte en porte cette année. Mais cela ne signifie pas que nous ne pouvons pas célébrer Halloween! Votre équipe de l’ACVR y a réfléchi, et nous vous proposons quelques solutions de rechange afin de profiter de Halloween au Village des Riverains. http://wateridgeassociation.ca/celebrons-halloween/

Halloween is just 18 days away! Like you we’ve been wondering how to celebrate it this year. Ottawa Public Health just shared their guidelines today (see link below ) and trick or treating outdoors is not being recommended. Don’t worry though, we’ve put some thought into how we can still celebrate as a community and we’ll be sharing our ideas with you in the next couple of days!... In the meantime it’s great to see so many spooky decorations popping up around our neighbourhood!
