Listen to traditional and contemporary Cree and Anishinaabe scary stories in this storytelling program.
Although Indigenous peoples in Kanada have not traditionally participated in Halloween festivities, it has been embraced in recent years as an opportunity to express creativity and playfully frighten family and friends. Guests can expect a blend of traditional and contemporary scary stories, along with a selection of treats.
Dressing up in costume is encouraged in this all-ages program. Presented by local artist Jim Adams.

The Waterdown Branch was established in 1966 and moved to the Mill Street North location in 1979. In December 2015, the Branch moved to its new location, 163 Dundas St. E.
The Branch offers several improved service features including: accessibility, more public-access computers and dedicated study spaces. The Branch now has a bigger collection and a redesigned children's area, which houses kid-friendly technology and activities. With the new layout and larger space, more programs will be offered in the Branch and when the weather is agreeable, a reading patio overlooking Dundas Street and the Escarpment will be opened.
