Residences to present kid-safe Halloween activities Thursday

Children can give their Halloween costumes a dress rehearsal on Thursday, October 29, as residence students host Boo at the U. University employees are invited to bring their children (or grandkids!) to Vanier Hall’s Winclare C room at 6 p.m.

Residence Life staff, members of the RezEvents student committees, and volunteers representing each residence hall will give little trick-or-treaters their own treat bag. Guests will then make the rounds to each spooky station where games, activities and creepy candy will be available in a safe environment.

All children must be accompanied by a parent. Admission to the event is free, but attendees are invited to bring a canned good for donation to the Iona College student food bank. Organizers extend thanks to campus union locals CUPE 1393 and Unifor 2458 for their monetary support to the annual event.
