Terror at the Cannery
It’s back! The chilling haunted house returns to the North Pacific National Historic Site, along with some spooky games and candy for the kids. For those who dare, they can enter the Chamber of Chills, a narrated walk throughout the creepy old cannery grounds.
The frightful event kicks off at 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. Admission is by donation, cash only.
Pre-Halloween Atoms House tournament
The Atoms House League is hosting a pre-Halloween tournament in Prince Rupert this weekend. Nine teams from Rupert, Houston, Kitimat, Hazelton, Smithers and Terrace will compete.
Each team is guaranteed three games on Friday and Saturday. The quarterfinals, semifinals and championship game will all take place on Sunday.
CHSS boys soccer zones
Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS) will host the boys soccer zones on Saturday at the CHSS field.
The team, which is made up of both seniors and juniors, will play Kitimat at 10:30 a.m. and Smithers at 3:30 p.m. Coach Simon Ruperto said the boys have a strong chance of coming away with the title, so you don’t want to miss that.

Community Hallowe’en Fest
The 29th annual festival falls on a Monday, but we thought we’d mention it here anyway since it’s Halloween! Rupert weather can be unpredictable so for families who want to spend the night indoors trick-or-treating this is the event for you.
Games, costumes, candy and more candy are promised at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre from 6 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. The costume parade begins at 6:15 p.m. and has categories for different age groups. Games will be along the lines of “Pin the Nose on the Witch,” “Donut Dangle,” “Monster Mash,” and “Guess the Pumpkin Weight.” A fireworks display kicks off at 8:15 p.m.
