Happy Halloween Foam Lake!

Once again – questions regarding Halloween 2021 have been filtered through the Leisure Services Office over the past few weeks. Because the holiday falls on a Sunday this year, with another set of guidelines out by the Government of SK – the Board thought we would take initiative and outline few recommended guidelines that take into account our community! Even though the guidelines are not as strict as last year – here are some best practices to keep our community safe and healthy:

GENERAL:

Stay home if you are sick or experiencing symptoms, do not hand out candy if you are sick or experiencing symptoms
Wear a face mask – get creative – it’s Halloween! Sanitize your hands often!
Follow the 6ft rule!
Wrapped, store bought treats only – we will sure miss the popcorn balls this year!
Suggested Trick or Treating hours: 1:00pm – 5:00pm
Look for the attached PUMPKIN PICTURE in windows – this means its okay to approach!

FOR BUSINESSES:

Assign 1-2 employees outside the business to hand out treats
Wear masks and gloves, sanitize frequently
Set up a table to create a barrier between your employees & little goblins, disinfect this table often
Pack each treat individually – no loose on unpackaged candies
Post set “trick or treat times” in your window at least 1 week in advance
Post the attached PUMPKIN PICTURE in your window so kids/parents know its ok to approach

FOR HOMES:

If you are participating in handing out treats, place the attached PUMPKIN PICTURE clearly in your window for kids to see. This will indicate it is okay for them to approach the home
Pack all treats individually – no loose or unpackaged candies
Wear a mask to protect both yourself and kiddies, sanitize your hands often!
Use tools like tongs or “candy shoot” to hand out treats! Another opportunity to get creative!
Consider these ideas for handing out treats:
- A “garage give out” – there is usually more room for kids to be safely 6ft apart here!
- Placing a table between yourself and trick or treaters – disinfect this table throughout the day
- Leaving a large bowl of treats on your doorstep with a note – ex. – “Please take one treat only”
- Marking out with tape 6ft along your drive or walk way for kids to keep a safe distance

FOR FAMILIES:

Whenever possible, accompany your children trick or treating. This will ensure they are trick or treating safely.
Talk to your children about road safety and physical distancing guidelines/expectations
Have your kids wear a mask & Sanitize hands regularly
Show your children the attached PUMPKIN PICTURE, and ensure they know its okay to approach the homes or businesses with this picture in the window.

Please stay safe and healthy Foam Lake!
