Community members in Whitby, Ont. have launched a petition to bring back an annual Halloween parade held by a local elementary school that they say was shuttered over inclusivity concerns.
The parade was held annually at Pringle Creek Public School for years but was put on hold in 2020 due to the pandemic and hasn’t been revived since.
Parks said that her two children attended the parade between 2016 and 2019, which was the last year it was held. Halloween treats are also not permitted to be shared due to dietary, allergy, and health and safety concerns. “It was an annual tradition that united the students, their families, and the local community in a unique and magical way,” Nolan said. “It was a day when creativity, imagination, and enthusiasm filled the air as students donned their costumes and eagerly awaited the parade.”
