Old jack-o-lanterns get last send-off at Bannerman Park

Chinese New Year is known as the Spring Festival in China. The original name does not seem apt during a St. John’s winter. Despite the weather, however, the local Chinese community joyfully welcomed the new year.

For some, it’s an outdoor activity that puts food on the table. For others, the benefits reach further.

Halloween is only eight days away, and homeowners are putting up elaborate decorations and stocking up on sugary sweets.
