  19. Fact 1- $355.9 million What Canadians spent on candy, confectionary and snack foods in October of last year.

    Fact 2- 3,734,401 Potential trick-or-treaters who may roam the
    streets this Halloween (Anyone aged five to 14).

    something I found that happened I the pat is Halloween customs,
    such as wearing disguises to ward off ghosts and offering food to appease malevolent spirits, were brought to Canada in the mid-to-late 1800s by Irish and Scottish immigrants.

    I think Halloween will be celebrated by people will be handing out technology instead of candy. I also think that maybe there will not be as any people dressing up.

  21. 1)On average, kids who trick or treat will bring home a bag of candies worth 11,000 calories.
    2) Halloween is the second highest-grossing commercial holiday.
    3)people had Halloween party's with over 5 guests over.
    4)I think that in fifty years the covid will be over so people will have party's and go trick or treating without wearing masks.

  30. A interesting fact is that some people used to call the day before Halloween "All hollow's eve". Another interesting fact is that some people would say Halloween apple instead of saying Trick or Treat. How Halloween was celebrated in the past was people were going around a steeling gates from people houses and doing pranks on a lot of people.
