There were a number of costumed children in our community out hitting the sidewalks in search of candies.
The number of kids this year dressed in Halloween costumes carrying plastic bags in hand appeared to be slight, and it also depended on where you live.
In Alderwood, few children ventured out, and it was with their parents during the evening.
The costumes were grand, with a trio of beautiful princesses, showing up at our door.
In Lakeshore Village, a member of the Business Improvement Area, was handing out candies at Lakeshore Blvd. W., and Sixth Street.
The front patio of a business was decorated with scary lights, goblins, talking skeletons and other inventions to help scare children.
There were lots of children as expected, but not close to the more than 300 trick or treaters they’ve had in previous years.
Only 56 per cent of Toronto residents said they would be opening their doors to hand out candies this year due to COVID-19 restraints.
Still, all and all, the children enjoyed themselves, virus or not.
