Kids throughout Hamilton make the most of trick-or-treating

First Published:

Many kids go out trick or treating, going door to door with the goal of getting bagfuls of Halloween goodies.

But on this dark and rainy night, there’s also the option of doing just that, but in a place that’s bright and dry.

Kids started trick or treating at Eastgate Square just after 5 o’clock, going store to store, filling up their bags with treats, something the mall does every year, providing a safe option for kids trick or treating. Around 5:30, there is also a special trick or treat event taking place for those kids with mobility issues, providing them with a fun and accessible Halloween experience. This morning, at McMaster Children’s Hospital, staff and volunteers there, also made sure that all kids had fun this Halloween.

Diana Weeks has the details.
