Some municipalities in the province have been spooked by high winds and heavy rainfall in Friday night’s forecast, causing them to postpone trick-or-treating traditions.

Bathurst and Nouvelle-Acadie were the first in the province to announce that Halloween events — including knocking on doors for candy — would be pushed to Saturday instead.

Environment Canada has issued special weather alerts for much of the province for Friday, with between 25 and 40 millimetres of rain and gusting winds of 70 kilometers per hour expected.
