What's the shortcut to print consecutive apartment labels for a building?

Can I go trick or treating in Canada, in an apartment building?

  • So, over Fall Break, I am going to Canada, and so this means I am going to miss trick or treating, and so I can't go in America, which is where I lived, and I was sad and all, and then I figured out Canada celebrates Halloween, hopefully on the 31st of October, lol, well anyway, I am visiting my aunt, who lives in an apartment building, and it is one of those luxurious buildings, like it is a 25-story building, and there is a balcony in each apartment, and when you get out the door of your apartment, you are in a hallway, not outside. Hopefully you know what I am talking about, lol, and there is a lobby, an elevator, stuff like that. I am not sure if you would call it an apartment building, but I don't know what else to call it. It is something like this: http://www.arrakeen.ch/saopaulo/030%20%20apartment%20building%20in%20Vila%20Mariana%20.JPG So, can I go trick or treating in that kind of an apartment building? Thanks :)

  • Answer:

    Yes, what you're describing is a typical Canadian apartment building. We have very few "open-air" buildings like you see in the southern U.S. because of our colder weather. I think a good way to judge whether you can go trick or treating or not is whether other kids are out doing it. Look around to see if people have decorations on their doors and if other people are out going around. Some apartment buildings do it and others don't. If they don't do it in the apartment building, ask your aunt if there are any near-by suburban family residential areas, because this is the most common place for people to trick or treat. If the apartment building is mostly only single people without children, then they probably don't do Halloween.

Most apartment buildings up here are as you described. Some buildings have people set up in the lobby handing out treats so no one is wandering the hallways.

Yes, here in Canada, Halloween is also October 31st. I have lived in several apartment buildings and have never seen kids trick-or-treating in them. Apartments are not usually kid-friendly and most residents are usually seniors or young married couples just starting out, with no children. I would suggest you look into residential neighbourhoods surrounding your aunt's apartment. Make sure the area is safe and, even better, maybe your aunt can take her car and sort of watch out for you.

arent you a bit old for trick or treating, and are you doing this alone? the whole point of trick or treating is so you can go with your friends.

Yes, you can trick or treat if you live inside the building - unless the council has a bylaw against it. Ask your aunt to make sure.

it really depends on the landlord, some would permit it others wouldn't. Check with the building superintendent.

AS far as I know, no you cant, any apartment bldg I lived in the caretaker would set up by the front door and hand out treats donated by residents. for one thing, allowing strangers in and out of the bldg is a breach of security. And there it is also considered an invasion of prvacy, and a nuisance. FYI children go trick and treating in Canada, once you hit about 12 you are considered too old so my advise would be no you shouldnt, trick and treating is for children, and IMO most people would find it appalling and offensive to see someone your age standing on their doorsteps. Looking at your profile you are at least in grade 9 or 10 so that would make you what? 15? 16?

Some apartment buildings that have a lot of children living there have arrangements for people who live in the building to trick-or-treat. Others set up candy in the lobby. But that's unusual - most apartment-dwellers do not participate in trick-or-treat. (Have you asked your aunt whether she hands out candy?) If I had small nieces or nephews visiting on Hallowe'en night, I'd take them to a nearby residential neighbourhood with lots of kids. But I'd feel guilty about it, since I'm not giving out candy to other people, and I wouldn't be comfortable with it if they were old enough to understand that they were missing out because they're visiting me instead. (Even if they trick-or-treat until they're 15 or so at home with friends, where their family is contributing and where they go to homes of people who know them, this is a different situation and I wouldn't be making arrangements unless they were less than 10 years old.) I'm sure that seems harsh to you, but you're having a grown-up kind of visit. Your aunt may have other ideas on how the two of you can celebrate - many Canadian cities have haunted-house attractions, you can certainly buy your favourite kind of Hallowe'en candy and eat it, and you can definitely wear a costume whatever you do Saturday night.
