Fun Halloween alternative for candy from the City of Ottawa

Trick or Swim or Skate tickets are on sale now!

If you are looking for a fun idea for Halloween then the city of Ottawa may just have the treat for you!

Trick or Swim or Skate is back after taking a break during covid.

Purchase 10 tickets for $10 to swim or skate at City pools and select arenas. This healthy and fun alternative to the traditional candy overload offers a different kind of treat for children. They are great for loot bags, party favours or just to hand out to your favourite neighbourhood kids on Halloween.

Tickets are valid for ages three to 15 years (my 13 year old and her friends really love to head over to the pool for a swim on weekends, so it’s not just an option for the littler kids!).

Tickets can be used from November 1, 2022, until January 31, 2023.
