Victoria gets creative with candy distribution during COVID-19 Halloween (PHOTOS)

Share

Victoria showed its Halloween spirit and innovation this weekend, as households found some creative ways to provide candy in a COVID-19 safe way.

Some folks took the “candy chute” route, using hollow tubes, troughs, or pipes to send Candy from an elevated position down to trick or treaters.

Other households created some neat “self-serve” displays using clotheslines, or bags hung from trees.

So many great solutions on display last night! from r/VictoriaBC

Some took a physically distanced approach with table set ups, and manned them throughout the evening.

Hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween 🦇 🎃 from r/VictoriaBC

And some people placed their trust in responsible Trick or Treaters to help themselves with convenient self-serve placement.

The steps these households took in Victoria showed that many locals were taking Halloween instructions from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry seriously.

It remains to be seen if there will be a spike in cases on Vancouver Island from Halloween, but these Victorians showed there were ways to celebrate safely.
