Houses across the Valley were equipped with innovative candy chutes, clotheslines with hanging candy bags, and extra-long tongs to dispense candy safely to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. The municipality of Saint-Anicet, however, pulled out all the stops to celebrate a contactless All Hallows’ Eve. The municipality, in partnership with the St-Anicet Optimist Club, the Cercle des Loisirs de Cazaville, the Société Historique de St-Anicet, and Autobus Huntingdon, created the Fear Passport, which featured five locations throughout the municipality where interactive panels detailed the bizarre circumstances around the deaths of a handful of unfortunate fictitious individuals. A QR code on each panel could be scanned with a phone to reveal a ghostly character that would then tell their story. The activity proved very popular, with parents expressing their appreciation for all the effort to make this Halloween extra special.
