While it’s the season to have gravestones and skeletons pop up in front of local homes, this year a new sign is joining the traditional creepy fare.

The Accessible Trick or Treating program began in Toronto in 2017 when a man noticed his neighbour’s child used a wheelchair and wouldn’t be about to trick-or-treat at his house.

From there the program exploded, with Re/Max and Home Depot partnering to make sure any kids with accessibility issues know which houses are going to make sure they get their share of candy.

Executive Director Nancy Reid of the Coalition of People with Disabilities NL told VOCM Lunch Bunch with Andrew Hawthorn that while it isn’t their program, they support the initiative.

She says the program is really exploding, but even if you don’t have a sign there are a lot of things you can do to make sure your house is available to the widest number of people; things as simple as making sure your walkway is clear or that the porch is well lit.
