Teens report dirty looks while trick-or-treating

"I think that's kind of biased in a way, like age biased," said Fredericton High School student Savanah Herrington, 17.

• Bathurst bylaw: No trick-or-treating after 7 p.m., must be under 14
• Halloween in northern city and village limit treat seekers

The bylaw in Bathurst has been in place since 2005, it was brought into discussion at city hall after a resident asked council to re-evaluate it.

Cassie Tyre, 16, plans to trick-or-treat in FrederictonMondaynight. She said she's gotten dirty looks at doors for being her age.

"I want to trick-or-treat -- at least I'm not out partying," she said.

"It is a little bit concerning for me. Most of the interviews that I (did were) projecting, 'you're the exception in Canada.' That's not the type of exception that we want to project for ourselves," he said.

"Times have changed over the years and I'm not sure that we actually need a bylaw to govern the Halloween day."
