Becoming an adult does not have to mean losing out on Halloween fun. Unfortunately, a lot of go-to ways of celebrating the holiday is not always going to cut it. Going to the movies can get pricey,
and cleaning up after throwing a party is a hassle. Thankfully, there was a way to have a fun, free, and low-committal time that does not involve going from house to house. Southcentre Mall is offering a trick-or-treating experience for everyone. Costumes are optional but encouraged!
No tricks, all treats
Located at 100 Anderson Road SE, and from 1pm to 3pm, retailers at Southcentre Mall featuring a “CANDY HERE” sign will be handing out candy to mall goers. Not to be confused with retailers with a “CANDY NOT HERE” sign, meaning that no candy will be handed out.
