Re/Max Integra has launched an accessible trick or treating program aimed at helping children with accessibility and mobile issues enjoy Halloween in Canada.
Over 400 thousand children and youth live with an accessibility issue, which makes daily tasks a daunting task, not to mention Halloween which is a treat for children.
The Accessibility Advisory Committees in Stratford, Oxford and Perth Counties are participating in an effort to make trick or treating more accessible, by giving free signs to homeowners.
The Accessible Trick or Treating sign will tell people your home is accessible for everyone trick or treating and you are helping raise awareness.
Tips for homeowners and where to get signs can be found on our website exetertoday.ca

Ideas For Home Owners:
- Place an Accessible Trick or Treating sign on your front lawn a few days before Halloween
- If possible, take stairs completely out of the process and create a trick-or-treating station on your driveway or out of your garage
- Clear pathways
- Make sure the path to your trick-or-treating area is well lit
- Refrain from the use of strobe lights
- Move cars out of the driveway to allow better accessibility for trick-or-treaters
- Create a doorbell system that can alert you of visitors
- Please use the sign only on your personal property
- Please remove the sign from your property on November 1st.
