CLBC's Community Councils wrap up Halloween with fun and inclusive social events including dances and open houses! 🎃👻The Vancouver Richmond Community Council hosted a Halloween open house with a prize for the best costume, while the Central Island Community Council hosted a Halloween after-party dance. Community members came together to celebrate, dress up in costumes, share food, and enjoy prizes, face painting, an arts table, and resource tables.
The Central Island Community Council was also recognized by their city with an official proclamation declaring October as Community Inclusion Month. The Council proudly shared this proclamation at their Halloween dance to mark the close of Community Inclusion Month.
