Thank you to everyone who took part in the 41st annual Tapley’s Halloween festivities. Our wonderful neighbourhood once again pulled out all stops from the artistically carved pumpkins to the themed houses and fabulous costumes with 46 neighbours participating. We welcomed more than 1,000 local children and parents to trick or treat on a lovely dry night. It was encouraging to see so many kids and families dressed up, and that we were able to gather to celebrate Whistler’s longest-standing community tradition.
We greatly appreciate the generous candy donations from Nesters Market, Your Independent Grocers, Creekside Market, The Grocery Store, and Fresh St. Market, which enabled us to provide 350 pieces to each household this year. Thank you to the Whistler Secondary Community School Leadership Team and the 20 enthusiastic student volunteers coordinated by Vice Principal John Hall for manning the entrance and supporting our “We Scare Hunger” campaign. Together, we raised $4,025 in cash donations and 174kg of non-perishable food donations for the Whistler Food Bank, which were gratefully received by Whistler Community Services Society.
