The Canadian Tire Centre Plans To Host A Huge 'Socially Distanced Halloween Festival'
Maybe October 31 isn't cancelled after all! The Ottawa Senators just announced new plans to host Halloween at the Canadian Tire Centre. The socially-distanced event will be totally free and will take place from 2 p.m. through 7 p.m.
In a news release on August 31, the team confirmed that they would be providing the necessary measures to keep the festival safe.
“
We are currently in discussions with a variety of stakeholders to ensure that our festival will be the safest possible.
Anthony LeBlanc, Senators President of Business Operations
Safety measures will include touchless trick-or-treating, mandatory mask-wearing, temperature checks and enforced hand hygiene.
There will also be staggered time slots, using pre-registration to maintain physical distancing at the event.
This will be the first spooky festival hosted by the Senators for a "safe and not so scary" Halloween.
While this event is aimed primarily at younger people, it's a good sign that Halloween in Canada may not be cancelled after all!
