Trick or Treat with Mayor Watson
2015-10-24 16:00 - 19:00 | Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Ave West, Ottawa, ON, K1P1J1, Canada
Trick or Treat with the Mayor in support of the Ottawa Food Bank’s Baby Supply Cupboard
Ottawa – Join Mayor Jim Watson on Saturday, October 24 at Ottawa City Hall from 4 to 7 p.m. for the Mayor’s ninth annual Halloween gathering in support of the Ottawa Food Bank’s Baby Supply Cupboard.
With the support of corporate sponsors, Trick or Treat with the Mayor provides safe Halloween fun for everyone, and is a wonderful opportunity for local families to help others by donating essential food and supplies to the Baby Supply Cupboard.
Trick or treat with the Mayor and your favourite costumed characters, who will be handing out treats in Jean Pigott Place, and visit the spooky witches’ den in Andrew S. Haydon Hall. The excitement continues outside on Marion Dewar Plaza where children can decorate their very own miniature pumpkin in the outdoor pumpkin patch, take photos in the fun, fall-themed photo booth, and ride the Giant Tiger train.
Admission to the Halloween party is a non-perishable donation to the Baby Supply Cupboard.
The Baby Supply Cupboard helps parents in need by providing items in high demand such as non-perishable baby food, formula, cereals, diapers and wipes. Chronic shortages of donations of these basic needs make stocking the Baby Supply Cupboard one of the Food Bank’s most expensive, but most precious priorities.
For more information, visit ottawa.ca or call 3-1-1.
Please note: Once again this year, the Heritage Building will not be part of the Halloween event. This is not a nut-free event.
