Halloween Events

1) 'Trick or Eat' - this is mainly coordinated by Meal Exchange but we have participated in it the past few years. On the 31st, groups of 2 (or more) people are assigned a route somewhere in Montreal (for example, NDG or Westmount) and you go trick-or-treating; but instead of collecting candy, you collect canned food. Don't worry, there is a car/van to collect the cans, you don't have to carry a heavy bag for two hours! It starts at 5:30, and generally lasts for 2 hours or so. Plus you get to wear a costume. We will ask for one route, so everyone who signs up will go as a big Rotaract group.

2) Shriner's Hospital - Every year we also go to the Shriner's Hospital on the 31st in the evening, and play games/do other fun activities with the children there. Of course, we dress up in Halloween costumes, and in the past it has been a ton of fun to go! Like trick-or-eat, we will probably start around 5 or 5:30, and it will last a few hours max.

Both of these events are evening time, so you will be back downtown/home in plenty of time to go out to other Halloween events you may have planned.
If you are interested in coming to either event (unfortunately they fall at the same time, so you have to pick only one), please leave your name in the comments and specify which event you are interested in!
