Treat Accessibly
The City of Brampton is dedicated to identifying opportunities to increase accessibility and a strong sense of belonging for all across its diverse community. Brampton City Council approved an amendment to its Sign By-law to promote barrier-free and accessible ways of trick-or-treating. Brampton homeowners are welcome to place a Treat Accessibly sign on their front lawn to let residents know that if a trick-or-treater has a disability, they can experience Halloween without barriers at their home. Lawn signs can be picked up at Fright Night.
Follow these tips from Treat Accessibly to create a safe environment and provide barrier-free access:
- Make sure the path to a trick-or-treating area is well-lit.
- Clear driveways and pathways.
- Move cars out of the driveway to allow better accessibility for trick-or-treaters.
- Create a trick-or-treat station at the end of a driveway, out of a garage or a vehicle’s trunk.
- Refrain from using strobe lights or high-pitched, sudden loud noises.
- Keep pets safe and secure.
