Strathcona County giving out free recreation passes for Halloween

Strathcona County is supporting a safe and healthy Halloween through free recreation passes for local youth.

Students in the county from Kindergarten to Grade 12 will be receiving a free Healthy Halloween pass. These passes can be used for a one-time admission to County recreation vacilities.

Younger students will also receive a colouring book which features fun Halloween activities and tips for a safe Halloween experience.

The passes are also available to home schooled students. They’re available at the recreation administration building.

RCMP officers will also be patrolling the community and handing off free passes as a positive ‘ticket’ for good behaviour.

You can find more information on the passes by visiting the Strathcona County website.
