Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to rise today to talk about one of the wonderful community partnerships we have in my riding of Ottawa-Vanier.
Last night, the Vanier Community Association, along with the help of the Vanier Community Service Centre, Crime Stoppers, Loblaws and Partage Vanier organized a fun-filled and safe Halloween fun zone for Vanier families.
The goal was to promote safe celebrations in Vanier. Organizers set up tents at two locations in the neighbourhood. They also hosted games and handed out candy.
They also organized a pédibus to encourage families to trick-or-treat together in their own neighbourhood.
Volunteers of all ages worked together to run the different activities and booths.
We all have the right to feel completely safe in our neighbourhoods.
I commend the organizers of this fun initiative, which is held in Vanier every Halloween.
