Fall activities
The province has updated its reopen plan to include guidance on fall activities like Halloween, Thanksgiving, fall/fowl suppers and Remembrance Day.
Most things are still allowed, provided events and gatherings are following public health orders. Buffet-style or self-serve fall suppers are prohibited.
The public health order still states that a maximum of 30 people are allowed at indoor or outdoor gatherings, but only if there is enough room for people in different households to physically distance. If not, the gathering size needs to be smaller.
