It may have been delayed by a week, but Halloween in Marystown is being deemed an overwhelming success.
A COVID-19 outbreak on the Burin Peninsula prompted the provincial government to impose restrictions on movement and activities. Halloween was one of the events cancelled due to the outbreak, and the Town was finally able to go ahead with the celebration after the return to Alert Level 2, Sunday night.
Marystown Mayor Brian Keating says he is so proud of the people of his town.
He says he loves his town and the people for what they did and how they came together. Keating explains that COVID can tear some communities apart, but he believes the outbreak made Marystown a stronger place.
He says Halloween is just one step in people supporting each other, describing the night as “phenomenal.”
The Mayor says COVID-19 numbers are dropping but they’re still following public health guidelines. Another event, a “Nightmare Before Christmas Trunk or Treat” is taking place this coming weekend for children who still had to miss the Halloween celebration due to isolation.
Mayor Keating is throwing a bouquet to the residents of Marystown. He says he is proud to be the mayor thanks to the community.
