The parade was held annually at Pringle Creek Public School for years but was put on hold in 2020 due to the pandemic and hasn't been revived since. The Durham District School Board did not confirm why the event is no longer being held, however, at least one parent told CTV News Toronto that she was told by a member of the school's administration that it would no longer take place "because not everyone celebrates Halloween." Do you think this is a valid reason to cancel a Halloween parade?
