Accessible and Inclusive Halloween in St. Albert!

Residents are making Halloween in St. Albert accessible to everyone! This year, there are a variety of ways residents, parents and children can participate in an inclusive, allergy-friendly experience for children of all abilities. 

Create a trick-or-treat experience for children of all ages and abilities.  
If your home is barrier-free (i.e. curb-side setup, accessible home entrance) for trick-or-treating, add it to the Accessible and Inclusive Trick or Treating Map so parents can map their Halloween night around their children’s needs. To register your home, visit the map
   
Create a safe, allergy-friendly trick-or-treat experience. 
Not everyone can eat candy. Consider giving out non-edible treats such as stickers, pencils, or crayons. To register your allergy-friendly home, visit the map.

This year, we are opening our event an hour early to families with boos and ghouls aged 3-12 years old to participate in a variety of activities in a sensory-safe environment. Featuring dim lights, no music, sensory kits and small crowds.

Treat Accessibly and St. Albert are hosting this accessible, daytime, trick-or-treat event for children of all ages and abilities.
