Hi guys,

 

I came across this article shared by my news station Global News on Facebook.

Basically, the article is about the 7 PM curfew in effect only for Halloween for children 16 & under in Bonnyville, 140 kms northeast of Edmonton.

The article also says that the idea to extend the curfew was declined.

 

What are your thoughts on this?

 

Please read through the article first before posting, as I just gave you the main point of the article, with no quotes.

Here's the full article link as well: http://globalnews.ca/news/1581750/its-all-about-the-safety-of-the-kids-bonnyville-mayor-on-7-p-m-halloween-curfew/

My thoughts are, that 7 PM is a bit early, and should have been extended to at least 8 PM, since most prefer to go trick or treating when it's pretty much completely dark outside, and at 7 PM, it's just starting to get dark. Yes, it's dark, but not dark enough for trick or treating.

 

Note: I do not intend for this topic to turn into any kind of flame war, or argument, that results in it getting locked.

Please think before posting anything that might start an on-going argument, or flame war, that would only end upon the topic being locked. :)

What does it being dark have to do with trick or treating? The aim is to get candy and show off your outfits not play hide and seek in the dark, is it not? 

In the dark it's always better, ain't it? 

Nothing wrong with trick or treating in the dark, however since most kids do like to go trick or treating around that time, thats fairly early to be summonsing kids inside, 8:15, 8:30 would be more appropriate.
