I can remember this happening in Lethbridge quite a few years ago too... either '93 or '99. The huge religious population of Lethbridge complained about it, and if my memory serves correct, they were extremely close to actually winning. Part of me thinks they won and held it on Saturday also...
I didn't realize the christian faith looked at it this way. Having grown up in a Catholic family and school, we always celebrated Halloween and even were taught that it wasn't all about evil things.

Yeah, I went to Catholic elementary/junior high/senior high and we always had halloween festivities of some kind. Never heard a bad word spoken about it. That would lead me to surmise that its not a "christian" problem (or at least Catholic), but that these people have some other bee under they're bonnet. The priest from my church was handing out candy!
