I just love it - trick or treating especially. Kids are happy, parents get to run into each other on the sidewalk, and new and old neighbours alike get to meet people coming to the doors. GREAT community building. And who doesn't like candy? #yeg01 Nov 2024 03:14 +0000at://did:plc:4ntghtvn4e4fd7p24s3pmi2x/app.bsky.feed.post/3l7u7ey2who2o
