<p>Ottawa Public Health is <a href="http://glengower.ca/covid-19/ottawa-public-health-halloween-guidance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recommending to not go trick-or-treating this year</a> or to host or attend any Halloween events where people are likely to gather – but there are still lots of ways to celebrate Halloween spirit in our community.</p>
<p>We want to know how Stittsville residents are celebrating Halloween this year.  Is there a haunted house on your street?  Do you have a costume you want to show off?  What craft or activity is your family doing this year?  Send us a photo and let us know at <a href="mailto:glen.gower@ottawa.ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">glen.gower@ottawa.ca</a> and we&#8217;ll share some of our favourites here!</p>

<h2>Partagez votre esprit d’Halloween!</h2>
<p>Cette année, Santé publique Ottawa <a href="http://glengower.ca/covid-19/ottawa-public-health-halloween-guidance/">recommande de ne pas aller chercher de friandises</a>, de ne pas organiser d’événements où plusieurs personnes se rassembleront et de ne pas participer à de tels événements. Il existe toutefois de nombreuses autres manières de fêter Halloween au sein de notre communauté!</p>
<p>Nous aimerions savoir comment vous allez célébrer Halloween cette année, en tant que résident de Stittsville. Y a-t-il une maison hantée dans votre quartier? Avez-vous un costume dont vous êtes très fier(e)? Quels bricolages et activités votre famille a-t-elle choisis cette année?

<p><strong>Kathleen</strong> says: <em>&#8220;My boys are older now and we normally give out candies but this year we have decided to skip the candies and make a donation to our local food bank for the amount we&#8217;d normally spend on candies. I bought my boys a box of 6 cookies each from a local business in Kanata, the Sorrela&#8217;s Cookies and Treats. Happy Halloween!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Message de <strong>Kathleen</strong> : Mes fils ont grandi. Normalement, nous offrons des friandises, mais cette année, nous avons décidé de faire un don à la banque d’alimentation de notre quartier en offrant la somme que nous aurions normalement dépensée pour acheter des bonbons. J’ai acheté pour chacun de mes fils une boîte de six biscuits à <em>Sorrela’s Cookies and Treats,</em> un magasin de Kanata. <em>Joyeuse Halloween!</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>La version française suit</p>
<p>Earlier this morning, the Province of Ontario announced its recommendations and public health advice on how to stay safer this Halloween.</p>
<p>The Province advised that:</p>
<p>“<em>Given the high transmission of COVID-19 in the modified Stage 2 public health unit regions of Ottawa, Peel, Toronto and York Region, traditional door-to-door trick or treating is <strong>not recommended</strong> and people should consider alternative ways to celebrate. This can include, but is not limited to:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>Encouraging kids to dress up and participate in virtual activities and parties;</em></li>
<li><em>Organizing a Halloween candy hunt with people living in their own household;</em></li>
<li><em>Carving pumpkins;</em></li>
<li><em>Having a movie night or sharing scary stories; and,</em></li>
<li><em>Decorating front lawns.</em></li>
</ul>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>To have a safer and happy Halloween, Ontarians should follow some simple steps:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>Avoid gatherings with people outside of your household;</em></li>
<li><em>Stay home if you are feeling ill, even if you have mild symptoms, or if you are at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19;</em></li>
<li><em>If you live outside the modified Stage 2 public health unit regions and are going to go out to trick or treat:</em>
<ul>
<li><em>Only go out with members of your household;</em></li>
<li><em>Only trick or treat outside;</em></li>
<li><em>Both trick or treaters and people handing out candy should wear a face covering. A costume mask is not a substitute for a face covering and should not be worn over a face covering as it may make it difficult to breathe;</em></li>
<li><em>Do not congregate or linger at doorsteps and remember to line up two metres apart if waiting. Avoid high-touch surfaces and objects;</em></li>
<li><em>Whether collecting or handing out treats, wash your hands often and thoroughly, or use hand sanitizer; and</em></li>
<li><em>Do not leave treats in a bucket or bowl for children to grab and consider using tongs or other similar tools to hand out treats.”</em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>H:</strong>   Haunt your mind by sharing scary stories with friends on Facetime or Zoom.</li>
<li><strong>A:</strong>  Adapt your celebration by trick or treating inside with the people you live with or with your chosen social support person(s) if you live alone.  Think an Easter Egg hunt but Halloween themed.</li>
<li><strong>L:</strong>  Limit your in-person celebration to those you live with or your chosen social support person(s) if you live alone.</li>
<li><strong>L:</strong>  Launch a virtual competition with your neighbors for the best outdoor Halloween decorations.</li>
<li><strong>O:</strong>  Organize a virtual costume party with your friends.</li>
<li><strong>W:</strong>  Watch scary or fun movies with the people you live with or your chosen social support person(s) if you live alone.</li>
<li><strong>I:</strong>   Inspire your costume around a mask… how can you create the most thematic 2020 costume?</li>
<li><strong>S:</strong>  Show kindness by sharing photos, or connecting virtually, instead of hugs with your loved ones who are more at risk.</li>
<li><strong>E:</strong>  Eat a fun and spooky meal you’ve made with those you live with or that chosen social support person(s) if you live alone.</li>

<p>Plus tôt ce matin, la province de l’Ontario a annoncé ses recommandations en matière de santé publique et ses conseils quant à la façon de rester en sécurité au cours de l’Halloween.</p>
<p>La province a émis l’avis qui suit :</p>
<p><em>« Compte tenu de la forte transmission de la COVID-19 dans les régions sanitaires d’Ottawa, de Peel, de Toronto et de York à l’étape 2 modifiée, le porte-à-porte traditionnel de cueillette de friandises <strong>n’est pas recommandé</strong> et les gens devraient envisager d’autres façons de célébrer l’Halloween. Parmi ces autres façons, citons notamment les suivantes :</em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>Encourager les enfants à se déguiser et à participer à des activités et à des fêtes virtuelles;</em></li>
<li><em>Organiser une chasse aux bonbons d’Halloween avec des personnes vivant dans votre propre foyer;</em></li>
<li><em>Sculpter des citrouilles;</em></li>
<li><em>Organiser une soirée cinéma ou se raconter des histoires effrayantes;</em></li>
<li><em>Décorer l’avant de votre maison.</em></li>
</ul>
<p><em> </em><em>Pour une Halloween plus sécuritaire et plus joyeuse, les Ontariens devraient appliquer quelques mesures simples :</em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>Évitez les rencontres avec des personnes en dehors de votre foyer;</em></li>
<li><em>Restez chez vous si vous vous sentez malade, même si vous avez des symptômes légers, ou si vous êtes plus à risque de contracter une maladie grave à cause de la COVID-19;</em></li>
<li><em>Si vous vivez en dehors des régions sanitaires de l’étape 2 modifiée et que vous allez sortir pour faire la cueillette de friandises :</em>
<ul>
<li><em>Ne sortez qu’avec des membres de votre foyer;</em></li>
<li><em>Ne faites la cueillette de friandises qu’à l’extérieur;</em></li>
<li><em>Tant les personnes qui recueillent les friandises que celles qui les distribuent doivent se couvrir le visage. Un masque de déguisement ne remplace pas un couvre-visage et ne doit pas être porté par-dessus un couvre-visage, car il peut rendre la respiration difficile;</em></li>
<li><em>Ne vous rassemblez pas et ne vous attardez pas sur le pas de la porte et n’oubliez pas de vous mettre en file à deux mètres l’un de l’autre si vous attendez. Évitez les surfaces et les objets fréquemment touchés;</em></li>
<li><em>Que vous recueilliez ou distribuiez des friandises, lavez-vous les mains souvent et soigneusement, ou utilisez un désinfectant pour les mains;</em></li>
<li><em>Ne laissez pas les friandises dans un seau ou un bol que les enfants pourraient toucher et pensez à utiliser des pinces ou d’autres outils semblables pour distribuer les friandises. »</em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
