The City of Thompson is getting a jump on Halloween celebrations with activities starting today.

Mayor Colleen Smook shared what’s happening on City Beat yesterday.

“The Haunted House runs from October 27th which is this Friday until Monday. The Haunted house is two dollars per person. There is a Halloween skate at the C.A Nesbitt on Saturday afternoon, it’s free and recreation staff has some candy to hand out so wear your costume and make sure to have your helmets on because this will be a safe skate.”

There’s also a Trunk or Treat event tomorrow night from 5 to 7 pm at the TRCC parking lot.

Smook said it’s like trick or treat meets a tailgate party. People can park their vehicles and do some car-to-car trick or treating.

She also reminded listeners that Thompson RCMP and Fire and EMS will be out patrolling the streets on Halloween night to keep everyone safe and to hand out some goodies.
