Vanier centre hosts Halloween party michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - Candy, neighbours and fun: that is what’s planned for an upcoming neighbourhood Halloween party in Vanier. The Vanier Community Service Centre will host the free event in the Partage Vanier parking lot from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 31 for children, parents and residents to come out, have some hot chocolate or cider, eat some candy and enjoy meeting old and new neighbours alike. The event is the evolution of the Vanier Beautification committee’s walkabouts, held annually, to help keep a watchful eye on the neighbourhood children. Community liaison officer for the resource centre, Stefan Cherry, thought it would be a great opportunity to expand the event and create a larger community outing. “This is a joint effort,” Cherry said. “And everyone is welcome to come out.

aged.” The event is being pegged as a safe zone for children. It will be well lit and offer a place for residents to meet up, either before the trick-or-treating begins or after. “It is to be considered a safe zone,” Cherry said. “A safe, warm gathering space.” Cherry worked with Beautification members as well as members from the Vanier Community Association’s health and safety committee, to organize the event. “This is a really great idea,” said Marguerite Beaulieu, cochairwoman of the committee. The event will have more than just drinks and candy for the children: there will also be mini flashlights available for residents to use while trick-ortreating. All residents are welcome to come out. Beautification member Lucie Marleau would like residents to know the walkabout will still take place and residents are also encouraged to participate, adding costumes are a must.
