No Halloween Trick-or-Treating for Trudeau's Kids Due to Coronavirus

News 18  

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday his children will not go trick-or-treating on Halloween this year due to Covid-19 restrictions, but may instead hunt “Easter-style” for candy around their house. “Listening to public health officials means that my family will not be going trick-or-treating this year because… in red zones like Ottawa, they are not encouraging or not recommending trick-or-treating,” he said. But, he added, his sons Xavier, 13, and Hadrien, six, as well as his daughter Ella-Grace, 11, “could do an Easter-style treasure hunt for candy throughout the house and yard.” “I think families will be creative in how they respond to giving their kids as fun a holiday as we can,” Trudeau said. Trudeau famously likes to dress up in costumes for Halloween and parties — since coming to power in 2015, he has masqueraded as Clark Kent, Sherlock Holmes and “Star Wars” fan favorite Han Solo.
