Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his family will follow the advice of local public health authorities to skip out on Halloween trick-or-treating this year, amid mounting frustration over conflicting guidance.
This comes after Ontario health experts recommended the COVID-19 hotspot regions of Ottawa, Toronto, Peel and York should remain at home and find new ways to celebrate the tradition.
