Let’s make Halloween accessible for all!

Free treat accessibility lawn sign available at City Rec Centres

The City of Oshawa is proud to support Treat Accessibly – a grassroots movement encouraging Canadians to create a safe, accessible and inclusive trick-or-treating experience.

Oshawa residents looking to provide an accessible experience for trick-or-treaters this year can pick up a free Treat Accessibly lawn sign to display from City Hall, a City recreation facility or Oshawa Public Libraries branch.

Free lawn signs available at the following locations:
City Facilities:	Oshawa Public Library Branches:
City Hall (50 Centre St. S.) Civic Recreation Complex (99 Thornton Rd. S.) Delpark Homes Centre (1661 Harmony Rd. N.) Donevan Recreation Complex (171 Harmony Rd. S.) Northview Community Centre (150 Beatrice St. E. South Oshawa Community Centre (1455 Cedar St.)	Delpark Homes Centre (1661 Harmony Rd. N.) Jess Hann (199 Wentworth St. W.) John Aker Northview (250 Beatrice St. E.) McLaughlin Branch (65 Debwewin Miikan, formerly Bagot St.)

Providing an accessible trick-or-treating experience is easy; here’s how:

Distribute candy from an obstacle-free location, like the end of your driveway
Make sure the path to your trick-or-treating station is well lit and clear of hazards
Refrain from using strobe lights and high-pitched, sudden loud noises
Ensure pets are kept safely away from the front of your house

The Treat Accessibly initiative aligns with the City of Oshawa’s commitment to providing a healthy and safe community with accessible facilities, programs and services for everyone to enjoy. Additional information about accessibility in Oshawa is available on the City’s Accessibility webpage.

Treat Accessibly 2024 is supported by Canadian Tire, Kinder and RE/MAX. Visit treataccessibly.com to learn more.
