Ottawa Treat Accessibly Hallowe’en Village Made Possible by Canadian Tire

The Treat Accessibly Hallowe’en Village Experience is made possible with the support of:

From our family to yours, with the support of Canadian Tire, your local RE/MAX offices and Kinder we would like to invite your family to an early Hallowe’en experience with the goal to have fun and inspire accessible change across Canada.

Our family created the Treat Accessibly grassroots movement to help encourage homeowners, across Canada, to Trick-or-Treat from their driveways to show support for their neighbours with children with mobility, sensory or intellectual disabilities and to give all families a way to start opening their minds by thinking accessibly on Hallowe’en and beyond.

We started with one Treat Accessibly lawn sign at our home on Hallowe’en 2017. In 2022, over 150,000 homes displayed our FREE lawn signs. We had the first-ever Treat Accessibly Hallowe'en Village event in Toronto in 2021. Last year, we held 7 events across the country – over 10,000 people attended – so this year we are going to have 10 Treat Accessibly Halloween Villages.

With the support of up to 30 homeowners, on one street in your city, we will be creating an inclusive Accessible Trick-or-Treating experience to be shared with the families with kids and parents – with and without disabilities in your neighbouring area.

Our goal is to create a fun and safe Hallowe’en experience-to-remember for those attending and to capture the memories and idea on video to then share, on social media, with homeowners across Canada to demonstrate an Accessible and Inclusive Hallowe’en is the best kind of Hallowe’en for everyBODY every year.

Please join us by registering for your tickets today. Space is limited and only those registered will be admitted. Pre-registering permits us to maintain a hard cap on the number of attendees on site at a time.

Kids and parents with and without disabilities are welcome!

We warmly encourage parents to get in on the fun too and join their kids by wearing costumes for the event.

During registration, please choose the 1-hour time-slot that best suits your family. Space is limited. Once a time-slot hits capacity it will no longer be available to register for. You can register a maximum of 10 people per group/family. Everyone within your group, who is attending, must be counted, including adults. If you have more than 10 people in your group/family - please divide the registrations for these larger than 10 people groups amongst the adults planning to attend.

In addition to accessible Trick-or-Treating at up to 30 homes, for both edible and non-edible treats, kids and families will enjoy Magicians, a DJ and variety of costumed entertainers.

Follow @TreatAccessibly on Facebook and Instagram to show your support for the movement and to receive any last-minute weather updates. The event will go forward rain or shine for the kids.

Hope to see you there and Happy Hallowe’en everyBODY.
