How Can I Help?
No matter what kind of home you have: apartment, house, condo, etc. as long as you have children trick-or-treating in your neighbourhood you should ensure that all children can participate and enjoy themselves. You can help by taking a couple of simple steps.
Accessible Trick-or-Treating
Setting up and organizing your trick-or-treating station to be accessible to all children is simple and easy to do. Just follow our tips and you'll have something that's inclusive for your entire community.
Organize an Event
Sometimes it's easier for children with a disability and their caregivers to trick-or-treat during the day. Organizing an event in your community can ensure that all children experience the joy of dressing as their favourite character and get into the trick-or-treating spirit!

Halloween Villages
Treat Accessibly Halloween Villages create a curb-side Accessible Trick-or-Treating experience so that any child of any ability can experience a traditional Halloween.
Villages are scheduled during the day in the weeks prior to Halloween to make it easier for parents and caregivers to plan and organize.
In 2023, thanks to Canadian Tire and local communities we had Halloween Villages in 9 cities across Canada, literally from coast-to coast.
Check out our photo galleries from our past Villages.
